It has been raining nonstop for the past….well forever. Soccer got cancelled so I didn’t get to watch my daughter play. Then I went to the track. MSR was open and the 1.3 mile track (my favorite) was open for members. Too bad it was marginal at best. One bad wet spot on the entrance to one of my favorite turns. Could live with it by changing my line a little. The killer though was a nice ankle deep pond on the exit to the final turn going on to the front straight. Basically it was so bad that you would essentially have to brake and then coast through way up high to avoid the water, but still be in the wet.
So basically there was no way to put together a good lap for anybody at any skill level. With those factors it wasn’t worth spending the money, even if I need to work on my skills.
Then the weather continues Sunday and more of it today. Seriously. I thought I lived in Texas. Isn’t it supposed to be dry here? We’ve gotten more rain than Seattle. At this rate my house is going to get washed out to the gulf.
All this weather really has me feeling like doing a whole lot of nothing. This weekend looks like it should clear up. Maybe I’ll get a track day in on Sunday. And maybe my daughter will get to play soccer.
