REM Summer Series Rd.1
The start of the REM summer series started this past weekend on July 12th. I was excited to race again, as I have turned over a new leaf. Working out again, mountain biking and swimming. I want to get back in to competitive form.
The track at REM is typical Glen Helen. Big hills, and rutty. The track was a lot of fun though. I signed up in the Vet. Nov. class and headed out for practice.
Moto one I was second in to turn one. I pulled a good lead over the guys in my class, and let the other guys that I wasn't racing pass. By the time the checkered flag waved after 7 laps, I had built up a 15 sec. lead. I was pumped.
The second moto was a repeat of the first, as I was second in to the first turn. I rode smooth and strong to finish the 7 lap race in first again and with a 20 sec. lead this time.
Going 1-1 for 1st overall made me feel very good, as all the hard work I have put in with my new routine is showing on the track. This Sat. is round two of the Summer series. It will be another great day for me!
