welp, kid ran his 2nd race tonight. He was once again grouped with the 16-25 experts because there were no other people in his class. He got wooped pretty good as expected, but wants to keep going after it....

i'll give him credit for sticking with it. He is getting faster and hopefully some more people will join his class. gotta get myself healed up so we can go out and practice some more...

welp, i did it today...

was showing the boy how to pump the rhythm section at the bmx track and ate it hard. I went for one last run before we left and hammered up to the tabletop before the rhythm section. Snapped the chain going up the face and went over the bars and down the backside. Got both knees, right one looks like a cantalope and doesn't bend. Got my thigh, arm, shoulder and both wrists to boot. Had a big ride planned tomorrow. we will see how i am feeling in the morning....

time to get ready for the boys race...

went and played on the bmx track tonight for a while. It was nasty rough and hard to hold speed. Think i am going to hold off till sat to try a race. Going to practice more sat morning and maybe drop some gear out of the bike. 46:14 is a bit much on a rough track but i was still spinning it up pretty good. We will see how it goes sat morn.
