A day of nothing much

Last night we herd the words most of us have been dying to hear for the last few weeks. 'Sleep in'. today, there was no ride in the morning, no long ks , just track racing.
Was still feeling average and pretty much just mentally drained just thinking about having to race again. But i did it. and it turned out not to be too bad :)

Spent the morning doing nothing of much importance... went for an 1hr walk just around because the girls went out for breakfast (i'd been up since ridiculous o'clock so was pretty much ready for lunch by the time they woke up :p) then came back and slept for a tad before Kath suggested that we go get our nail done ha ha... so get our nails done we did. the lady was lovely but i have to admit that it wasn't the best manicure i ever got... but it was relaxing.

We then wasted more time by cruising the streets trying to suss out the tattoo and peircing palours... looking at getting either an airbrush tattoo or a belly button piercing. Turns out that none of them do airbrush tattoos so turns out piercing it is! i should have a poll... get it done or not... all up it costs 50 bucks.. thats for ring and everything... didn't think that was too bad!

So after patrolling the streets for another few hours wasting time before track, finally got home and started to pack bag for track when Mickey and Audrey came home :) missed them heaps it was quite suprising...didn't realise you'd miss people you'd only known for 3 weeks so much! just shows how close we've all gotten.. and how hard it will be to say goodbye.

We headed off to track, was very unmotivated... jumped on the rollers for about 30min before heading to track and my legs felt dead. Warm up wasn't much better. On the schedule was 1km scratch, 8km points and 5km scratch. Not a massive night, so decided to get over myself and just get the racing done. Tonight we were trying to get Mickey up for the omnium win again and so did a lot of work for her, attacking, chasing, leading out... turned out well as she won the overall ahead of Carly Mculloch from Aus and Liz.

Had a good chat to some of the Aussies who are over here.. there seems to be nearly as many Aussies as there are Americans over racing the track at the moment..is pretty insane! But it was good having a chat and hearing bout their experiences, and hearing another Aussie accent ;)

So it was a good night, the boys also picked up some goood results! (see Rick's update)

Got back pretty late though, didn't head to bed until around 12pm...got a long ride to do pretty early cause we are going shopping and to a water park!!! can't wait.. sooo pumped its insane. gonna be a good day.
