TNW #5 Recap

The rain actually held off, and we had dry racing all evening. With P-slim back in town, Jordan and I opted for Opus instead of TNT.

Jordan raced the Cat 5's. There were a couple of "unlicensed" ringers in the field, and they took off from the gun. One guy was able to bridge up to them for a few laps and gobbled up the 3rd place points, while Jordan was left chasing with the rest of the field. The guy came back, and the 3rd place points were up for grabs again. Jordan had a well timed sprint, and took it. Jordan tried setting up for the final sprint, but the guy who was with the leading 2 earlier jumped the group at the bottom of the hill, and took the final 3rd place points. Jordan scored 1 point, which placed him 4th overall. Nice job Jordo.

The Cat 1/2/3 race had a ton of loons including newly returned P-slim. Grandstay was there again in force, but GP and Flanders were noticeably absent. P-slim was able to take one of the first sprints. Nice! Shortly after that, Doug, Jens, and Carter got away, and that was that. No one to give a serious chase, and they were gone. I attacked several times just to keep the race lively, but Grandstay was in complete control. I have to say my legs lacked "snap", and I am due for some rest. Doug ended up taking most of the points on the night for another convincing win. Well done.

We capped off the night at Jimmy John's with Donimator and P-slim. Good times.
