I was pretty happy with my racing. The race nearly didn't happen as it lightly rained about 6pm. There was no wind, which slowed the track drying and about 6.45 we were allowed to roll around which helped complete the drying. I was placed in B grade, about 14 riders started.

Heart Starter (10 lap scratch race) - 5th, with the first 7 qualifying for the Kierin
Wheel Race Heat 3 (mixed grades) - Attacked with 3 laps to go and got 2nd, just pipped on the line. First 6 qualifying for the wheel race final
Kierin - 5th, oh well didn't quite have their top end
Miss & Out - 4th. Thought I had come 3rd but there was a rider off the front I didn't know about
Wheel Race Final (mixed grades 18 riders) - 7th, Attacked too late and ended up in a bunch sprint, finished on the back end of a bunch of 5, with one rider off the font
Scratch Race 25 laps - 6th I think. There were a lot of attacks including one from me, but at the end there were still a lot of us left.

Having done a spin class in the morning, I was pretty happy with my performance over the 6 events, I've never done that many races in a single evening.
