Loretta Lynn`s
Loretta`s has come and gone. I worked hard the prior weeks leading up to Loretta`s in anticipation of the heat. Being from Oregon, I really had no way to prepare for the humidity. My first moto out was in the 250B Mod class. I was primed and ready to go. I got a mid-pack start and had worked my way up to 4th. Unfortunately, the heat and humidity started to take its toll on me. Due to severe dizziness and blurred vision, I ended up pulling off the track with two laps to go. I ended up in the Medic Tent w/ ice packs and fans to cool me down. This was my first real experience with heat exhaustion. It seemed that I really never recovered 100% the rest of the week. I ended up going to the medic tent one more time after one of my 125 B/Mod motos. This time they gave me an IV to help speed the recovery.
With that said, I am happy to have a 10th overall in the 125 B/Mod class. Not bad with the likes of Austin Stroupe, Trey Canard, Kyle Cunningham, Sean Borkenhagen and Tye Hames.
