Richmond International Raceway Race

Today's race was something different. Today I had a road race in Richmond, but strangely enough, this race was held on a nascar track. The track was about a mile long (a little less) and we went around about ten times. It was super flat, yet really fun. I wasn't focusing very hard on this race, and it wasn't a big priority to me so I was able to just have fun. I stayed with the pack and we sprinted at the end. I ended up fourth in the sprint, less than a second behind the leader. The race was only thirty minutes, and it was also held in the rain sadly. Overall, I had a
super great experience and I'm planning on doing more of those short fast road races (called criteriums) in the future.
