It was a very disappointing day for me.  I was trying to think positive in the first race but before I even got into the first corner my rear chain came off (we think it was one of the links that came off).  For my next race I got excluded for exceeding the 2 minutes warning because I only had one bike and the races were so close together (only one heat between) and I just couldn't fix the chain in time.  So I started to lose my focus and the rain had come down after my first heat.  I did go out in the 3rd race but I was completely struggling going round the track because it was raining and my hand was all wet - it was quite difficult to hold on and I kept going in too early which caused me to cut in half way round so I couldn't really concentrate on where I was going because the riders got in front of me (from the start) and the flood lights went off making it a little difficult for me to see where I was going into the corner.  So after that I decided to pull out because I didn't want to be completely useless going round the track and I was all out of focus.

I feel very sorry for the crowd and the two mangers who worked hard to get the track back in action that I showed them that I was nothing on that night.

If I go again I'm hoping that I will be more focused and do better and try not to let the mangers down again.
