Recap of Day 3

And we're off to the races!!
Here's what happened on Friday...

How exciting: first off, the Elite sprint tournament.
I went head's up against Karine (from QC) and lost. I had never even practiced the whole "cat-and-mouse" thing, so I'm just really happy to have had the chance to try it out. Can't wait until next time :D

Then we did 500m races, chariot-style, i.e. three people together on the track, going for 500m individually. It's a good way to get through the races quickl,y and it provides a little incentive to push harder; catch whom ever is in front or don't let the person behind catch up. Either way, it's good times.
RESULTS
Flo placed 3rd for Jr Women with 40.78s
I placed 3rd for Elite Women with 41.86s (beat my Burnaby time of 42.98s)
Alex placed 4th for Jr Men with 37.24s
Colin 5th for Jr Men and 37.51s
*** N.B. Colin jumped out of the gates 1/2 sec too early, and so was penalized 1sec... His "real" time was thus 36.71 ***

And finally, we finished the night off with Points Races: 60 laps around the track with 3 sprints for points in there. I'm sure glad I wasn't racing Elite Men, since they had 50 laps to qualify for the 138 laps Points Race. Yikes! Definitely one for the endurance type folks.
RESULTS
Flo finished 1st (Jr Women) with 7pts
I came in 3rd (Sr Women) with no points
Alex placed 1st (Jr Men) with 11pts
Colin placed 8th with no points

Great work everyone!!
