1. wake up late.

2. figure i am already late might as well stop at Starbucks and get my Chai Latte and Oatmeal

3. pull in 7 minutes before practice starts

4. ride practice and wonder why back end feels loose, then check tire pressure after practice and realize there is 17 psi in rear tire

5. race first moto

6. drink dr. pepper and eat a can of tuna

7. race second moto

8. stop at del taco on way home.

4, finally decide to load up and go
5, Get a Starbucks venti iced Americano
6, realize you left your snacks at home
7, road rage, because you left your snacks at home.
8, get to the track and try to look cool even though you're hung over.
9, Do (3) site laps.
10, complain about arm pump for 45 minutes
11, tell your friends you're going to take pics and you're going to join them next moto.
