Day 3 of Kenney Williams spring track camp started early at 8:30 AM. Driving down to San Jose, we encountered rain - it was clear to the west, but threatening storm clouds to the south. Lots of wind with forecasts of gusts up to 40 mph. When we arrived, the track was dry but some settled water in parts of the apron. After a nice warm up, we did more sprint workouts starting out with the "Russian" drill. For this drill, we formed teams of 3, with the #1 person serving as a rabbit doing a flying 200 meter. The #2 person was leadout for the #3 person. The #2 person peeled up bank, and the #3 person was to stick on to wheel #1 and then attempt to sprint pass. We also did this with drill with 4 persons - this time, #1 and #3 persons peeling up bank. We then did some interval pursuit drills where we formed two packs on opposite sides of the track riding the stayer's line. At the whistle, the last person sprinted to pass the first person on the opposite team. The finale was a points race. We had a brief break for rain - and what wind!!! The rain passed and sunshine again. We resumed the points race - for the most part I hung out in the rear - but then again I was racing with some elite and world championship men! We had a lot of fun and made some friends. It was worth it for the structure and the experience.
