Mistakes were made

I haven't updated in a couple of weeks. Let's just say that things happened, things that weren't so good, and calling my race results less than spectacular would be an understatement. Oh well, I'm racing Crow Hill on Sunday and we'll see what happens. At least I did pull the holeshot at Central Village, which was fun:

Remember...

It's not how many times you fall. It's how many times you get back up.

Race Report: Southwick, April 1st 2012

This past Sunday was the first race of the NESC Spring Series in beautiful Southwick, Massachusetts. It was also my first race in six months. I went into this race with zero expectations. My goal was to simply finish each race I entered, which I did.

I had several strikes against me: First, I'm still about 25 pounds heavier than I want to be and horrendously out of shape. Second, my shiny new bike's engine is still in California (With an aching in its heart), so I had to break out my bone-stock, holy-shit-how-is-this-still-running 2006 CRF and attempt to survive on what most people call the toughest track in America. Since I'm old, I elected to race two vet classes, the 30+ Open Novice and the 35+ Open Novice.

How'd I do? Read on for a breakdown of each race.

If nothing else, this proves that I'm faster than a girl. On an 80. Not that I'm faster than all girls, mind you, just this one. Full race report forthcoming.
