Round four of the National Enduro
series was in Missouri. We were in store for a great weekend because the
weather was going to be perfect and the trails were said to be in great shape
for race day. I was excited to get the weekend started and hoped to
improve on my results. When the clocked clicked 19 I fired my bike and
took off for the start of test one. I didn't make it far into that section
when I made a small bobble which ended up becoming a nasty get off (I ended up
in a small cedar tree). Not the way I wanted to start the day! I got
my bike going and settled down and started to push. I tried to make the best of
that test and put behind me that incident because I had a whole race ahead of
me. That was not the case because I couldn't get comfortable with the
terrain all day. The track was a little sketchy with all the rocks, roots and
the fast trail. I just couldn't get settled in and relaxed. It seemed like I
was fighting myself a lot and making too many little mistakes. My best section
of the day was the sixth test. This was a lot more technical and tighter trail section.
It had the well known water fall section which was pretty neat. I was hoping
for a better finish, but overall was satisfied with my results. I finished 31st
overall and 10th in the Expert AA class.
I would like to thank all my
sponsors because you make it a lot easier for me to do what I love. I am
constantly trying new things to improve and get to where I want to
be.
Remember to keep it between
the trees!!
