Comments: A tiny improvement on the plank! Yes.

My little cardio excursion I was much more difficult than I thought it would be! I was sore/tight from running and using the elliptical (which I have not done in quite sometime) was making me feel like I was breathing pretty hard and my upper body is so weak/puny that by the end of 30 minutes my arms and chest were tired from moving the freaking levers back and forth. What a joke (I am).

The race was a blast. It was Dave H, Alistair L and Todd M and myself in the masters race and today was work for Alistair day. He's in 4th place currently and it was mathematically possible for him to overtake 3rd (Erick(sp?) from Cucina) so off we went mission in hand.

Since it was a points race I originally thought it would be best to get Alistair in a break but that never happened. Instead we just led him out and tried to take points away from his competition. And it worked pretty well…

Having two people who are committed to leading someone else out is pretty much enough at Pacific Raceways. And I had a super time doing it. To Alistair's credit he was able to sprint several times and got enough (or so I thought) wins and second places to wrap it up but at the end he only got 2nd for the night. At least he won a prime in the process. Rats.
