Let me help set some expectations:
- After a winter of heavy lifting and training, sprinters often hold super high hopes for the first track day. Don't expect to be blazing fast. If you are, great. If not, don't think your season is in the toilet.
- I can't recall anyone saying that they set a PB in 38 degree weather
- Your first flying 200 this season could be worst than your worst last season. It probably won't be faster than last season. Don't worry. That's normal.
- You'll be faster as the summer progresses.
You should look at the first track day as a casual meeting of friends and to shake down your bike for the season.
