So I've been out here in LA for 5 days now, and it has been going less than great. Just after stepping off the plane in LAX, I started coming down with something. It has developed into a full blown cold and I am have been hung up in my hotel room the past couple days. I did one day on the track so far, being thrown into a madison for the first time and almost killing myself on the first exchange. I started to get the hang of it, but wow the madison is sketchy stuff. It is the most focus oriented track cycling event by far. Especially when your partner and 4 of the other riders are wearing the same jerseys! Ok, hopefully my follow up to this will have me healthy.
