arrival

two classes to lead of the day. speaking, was first, in which we did absoultley nothing of worth. one girl mentioned she played saxaphone, so the next 30 minutes were all about saxaphones. oh boy!
then it was witch hunting which was the first day of "real" class. in which students present the information on what we read each followed by a short discussion led by the prof. i understood a bit more today. but not enough...
then lunch
then dad got here on the train. which the original was apparently canceled, but there was a smaller train shortly after. so he was all of 22 minutes late.
then he got a little bit of time to relax and it was off to the races!

today as usual i had trouble getting started. i was at the back for quite some time. i think i need to warm up more...the back was dangerous today. one kid on a 7000 dollar bike was all over the place. forced me onto the shoulder once even. that was a little before half way. i also kept getting cut off from others as well. so i said screw it and attacked to get out of there. it did not last very long. but it sped the group up enough to drop the kid in the yellow which was the plan. hehehe. revenge. then some more laps, i got antsy so i attacked again. which lasted nearly two laps. and on a sprint lap one of the VMC konstanz guys used me as a launch pad (i was caught by this time anyways), and he got the sprint points. then i was in the front of the group the rest of the race keeping it mildly fast (i think) and then on the last lap i tried attacking again because there was a lull for the sprinters. i got cut off just enough to slow me down right as i was making my move. so ill blame not succeding on that, even though i think i might have been caught anyhow. oh well. i tried!
now it is bed time.
happy birthday ingrid, and happy norwegian indepdence day as well.

racin...
