All done. The madison was yesterday and wasn't stellar for us but was still probably my best race yet. We were really aggressive in the first half of the race, attacking for the first points sprint and getting to about 2/3 of a lap up. At that point the field turned the screws to bring us back and that was about it for our race. We attacked a lot more and won more points, but that was our chance at the win. If we had a few exchanges that were crisper and worked the leg speed more I think we would have made the lap. That doesn't really do us much good now, but it does offer some insight into what to work on in the future.
In the end we were 6th, which is less than I was hoping for but we still had a good race. Afterwards we both talked to the new endurance coach who said we're on their long list of riders for a national madison team. So we might be back in LA in about two months for a madison camp and the last chance at qualifying for the talent pool this season.
We're now in Santa Monica with some buddies of mine, cruising around Venice Beach by day and going to dubstep concerts at night. All our gear went back with team Rubicon yesterday and we're flying home tomorrow. For a play-by-play of all the events go to www.fixedgearfever.com and click on the nationals coverage.
