^ definitely worse than yours in terms of racing experience but thoroughly enjoyed the day
foolishly decided to support the women's races after 6 weeks off the bike with a broken collar bone then 2 weeks to try to get some fitness back
failed to get into the pack at all in the 10 lap scratch as was dozing at the start line, and first time racing with the 'big girls' meant their cruising pace came as quite a shock
should have probably managed to stay in for one more round in the devils as was well-positioned and felt like I still had some legs
learned not to get caught out at the start again in the points race but it was another solo effort after the pack spat me out the back 3 laps in
all in all a good if sharp learning experience, but then I had nothing to lose ~
