well, the championship race was yesterday, and even though i was feeling good, i'm still not where i was before the injury. A couple of more weeks and i would have been in prime form, but i didn't have a couple more weeks!!! i struggled with gates in my motos, but got a little better each time as i got more comfortable. In the main, i had a great gate and was in a fight for first, but rubbed tires and had to back down to avoid falling. I quickly went from fighting for first, to trying to hold on to 4th. A bobble in the third straight kept a podium finish out of my reach, as i crossed the line in 4th. It was good enough for a 2nd over-all for the year, but i would have liked to finished a bit stronger in the championship race.

thanks to www.vengeanceclothingltd.com for sticking by me when i was down with injury. these guys are great--please check them out when you get a chance.

taking a week off to rest my brain, then it will be back to training for next year. i plan to add a little mountainbike racing into the mix next year as well.

hit another state race this weekend, and although i had a decent gate and first straight, i was still a little choppy and not-so-smooth on certain sections of teh track, leaving me with a 3rd in the main. a bit more time in the saddle and i'll be back to form.
