First race yesterday. We had to spend 1.5 minutes in a peanut butter trench that's commonly referred to as a "wet baseball diamond", every lap for 5 laps. I made it 4 before I had equipment failure. Pics to follow soon.

Here ya go. 56F, raining steady and a brisk North wind at the start. Big puddles on the turns. This is toward the end of my second race of the day. I'm leading my teammate who I've lapped. Our other guy, who won, lapped me twice.
It sucked. But, we cleaned up on prizes.

how do you like the whisper? i think they look awesome so id really like to get one but thats a pretty penny just to have a cool looking helmet. id imagine the ventilation must be amazing right?

The one im wearing is actually the Catlike Kompact Pro. I had the all white whisper, but they run a bit bigger. So i sold it to get the kompact, but holy crap it was a nice helmet for the time i had it. Ventilation was amazing.

Emmmm........leading the pack in a local crit on the second last lap.............big mistake, finished pretty much at the back of the pack
The second picture was a better result..........both were suffering! Unfortunately I haven't ridden since July its been one of those years workwise.
