Enduro on 8/30

Your probably asking, "What Happened to 2008?"  On April 24, 2008, my wife & I had a new member of the family, Jennifer,  join us!  Jennifer is our first child for both of us and we are very happy!  There were some complications leading up to her birthday that caused some nerve racking, but all was worth it to welcome this new person into the world.

So, 2008 will be a training year as far as enduro's are concerned.  I am working on my conditioning and setting goals for myself.  I may compete in a few at the end of the season to test the waters and see where I'm at compared to my fellow competitors.

In 2007, I set the goals of making the top 5 in C-Vet for the championship and getting promoted to B.  Both those were done in 2007.

My 2009 Goal is written in pencil.  The goal for 2009 is to compete for the championship in B-Vet.  This will depend on family obligations and making all the NETRA events plus not getting promoted out of B class.

My 2010 Goal is written in pen.  I will make A class.

These goals are attainable.

Thank you to my family, friends, and sponsors.

Yesterday (8/19), I reached one of my goals for this year.  I finished 1st place in C-Vet and placed 2nd overall in the C Class with a score of 72.  This run gave me enough promotional points to get promoted to B Class which was my goal!  I rode the last two sections with a flat front tire.

I rode the best I could that day and pushed for the entire race.  Comparing my score to B Class results, I would have finished 18th overall out of 50 B-Riders.  I would have finished 6th place in B-Vet.  My work is cut out for me to keep being competitive.

Thanks to my sponsors, family and friends for their support!
