Washougal and Loretta Lynn's update

I have been on the east coast for a while now and have been hitting up the outdoor nationals. We drove the motor home from New York down to Loretta's and dropped off the motor home and flew to Washougal for the round 4 of the wma series. Well lets just say that I rode really good but did not get the best of starts so my finishes were not good. I finished with at 9, 8. Then I got back on a plane back to Loretta's where I was going into it very confident. I arrived to the track Monday morning at 2am and was going to wait all day for my practice. I had a few bike issues that we weren't able to find till after the first moto. I had a really fun time. I finished 6th overall, which was OK... I just want to thank my parents for helping me get to all those races. I will be back next year 100 healthy and ready...

Freestone update
Me and Charles left straight from freestone tx and drove to Colorado to get used to the altitude. We stayed and rode with a friend of our Trevor Monks 726 before the national. I came into this national with more confidence and endurance. The first moto I got a top 5 start and rode hard the whole moto and ended up getting 7th. I'm not going to lie, I got a little tired but felt kinda strong still. Second moto I got a 2nd place start and made a few mistakes in the first 2 laps and rode hard till the finish and ended up 8th. I have a month or so till the next race. Hopefully by then I will be a 100 percent. Check back in a few weeks for the next update.. Thanks.

Texas update
Texas was not a good weekend for me. It was really hot and humid but the track was in really good shape. I rode the amateur day to get some track time before the weekend. It really didn't help me for the weekend. haha For the first moto I got a good jump but got pinched off and ended up going down. Luckily I didn't kill the engine and got up and rode as fast and hard as I could and got 15th. Second moto was a lil better. I got a top 10 start that time and ran 9th for most of the moto. I got really hot and tired and fell over in a turn and got 11th over all. The highlight of my weekend was I rode my best and knew what I need to work on before the next race.

Colorado is the next wma event that I will be racing at. I have 3 weeks to work hard and put in my seat time before the next race. I have been spending some time training in Texas but am going to be riding at Colorado the week before the race.....Check back soon for more updates

Hangtown

The first round of the WMA started this weekend at Hangtown in northern California. I came into this race with no expectations on how I was going to do. I have only been riding for around 2 weeks and I knew that I was not 100 percent. I was more around 65 or 70%. Coming into this race I was really nervous and went out in practice and did most of the jumps before the other girls. My confidence at that time was pretty good. Moto 1 was not what I was hoping. I got a really bad start and made my way up to 10 in like 4 laps. I then made a mistake and stalled it and ended up going back eight spots. I was really tired at that point and managed to make my way back to 11th. Second moto was not any better. I had a good jump out of the gate and made in 6th or so around the first turn. I will make this short. I got tired and ended up getting 12 for a 11th overall.

Next weekend we head to Freestone TX for the 2nd round of the wma series. All I know is it is going to be really hot and a new track that no girls have ridden on. I will update on that race soon.

Hey everyone... I have some good news.. well bad new for the girls I race against.. IM BACK !!!!!. I went to the doctor Tuesday the 13 and went in and the doctor came in a told me that everything looks healed. I was so happy. So that night got my bike ready and loaded up and went to Perris Wednesday morning. I had a good time out there. Its been so long that it seemed like I had to re learn how to ride.

Today was a better. We went and rode a Glen Helen. Wow it was rough and boy am I tired. I have been off the bike for so long that I need to work on getting my speed and my endurance back. It will come but it will just take time. Check back for more updates a little later.

I'm home and doing well. I went to the doctor yesterday and he told me something that I didn't want to hear. He said that I need to wait a little longer till I can start riding. I have been working out for the past week or so and it is a great feeling. Let me tell you, its way better than laying in a hospital bed for 2 in a half weeks. I have been going to the track everyday and been watching Charles ride. I just want to again thank everybody that wrote me emails and sent flowers and all that stuff. It made the time go by faster. Hopefully I can ride soon and I will see you guys at the track...
