Mini Olympics
The week got started off rough. I got knocked down right out of the gate in the 125B stock class, but I got right back up and charged back up to sixth, then I high-sided and hyperr-extended my thumb. I didn't qualify for that class. It was tough to ride, but I still went out and won my 250B stock and 125B mod qualifiers and finished third in my 250B mod qualifier. I went to the LCQ for my 125B stock class and won that.
In the mains I struggled with bad starts and falling, I can't even tell you what I finished in any of the four classes as I fell in every main, usually by being takin out.
In the motocross, it started out rough again, finishing eighth in my 125B stock qualifier. I fell in my 250B stock qualifier and didn't qualify and finished second in my 125B mod and 250B mod qualifiers. I went to the LCQ for the 250B stock class and won by a mile.
In the mains for motocross, I got a bad start in 125B stock and the muddy, one lined conditions hithered my performance. In the 250B stock class, I pulled the holeshot from the outside and went on to win the moto! In my 125B mod main, I got a fifth place start and made all the right moves on the first lap to move into the lead, I went on to win this moto also, winning my first national championship! I took it a little easy in the 250B mod main as my thub was hurting and I finished up the moto in a strong fifth place.
I have since gone to the doctor and had surgery on my thumb. I tore the ligament and pulled a chunk of bone from the thumb. The went in and reattached it with two pins. I will be out until December 27. Then I will be on my way to the Florida Winter Ams where I will be racing the A and pro classes.
