Indeed, being only my second time racing, each run I feel a little more
'at home' in the course. Though I need to teach myself that to be quicker
I have to slow down. I've got a nasty habit of barreling into a corner,
then scrubbing everything to a near stop to make it within the course
layout. Rather than getting on the binders _before_ the turn, and keeping
a steady speed 'till the exit, and back on the happy pedal. :)

The last race was really nice, due to the weather there was a low turnout
so we all got 7 runs each. It was neat seeing the times creeping down with
each run, there was always at least one damn cone that jumped out in front
of me though, no matter how big a beating I gave the last one. Ask Marc,
he had to pick a couple up I think ;)

Can't wait to do it all again in a week or so.
