Finally I have a picture--courtesy of TJ. It's actually me too, as a Luna Chick, fighting to stay ahead of Heather Irmiger and her teammate during Saturday's short track. I finished 11th and Heather ended up 10th. It poured rain for hours leading up to our race but it broke up shortly before the start . I had a second row call-up and decent start--good enough so I didn't have to run up the first slippery hill. 
Three hours ten minutes is a long time to race a bike. Next year I'll try to be a little faster so I don't have to pedal so hard for so long. Honestly, pedaling a little harder for a litttle shorter seems like a good idea. Anyway, I finished 20th and I'm very pleased I hung in there to finish as well as I did. Lap 2 hurt pretty bad and when it was over every muscle in my lower back and legs wanted to cramp. My teammate Georgia won and Katerina finished 3rd. Another good weekend for Luna. Until later.
