HS#8 – Myakka, FL – 1st Place

What a grueling race! I got a bad start again… coming off the line in about 12th place. I knew this was a nasty course with deep mud, deep sand, and tight woods with bad roots to try to overcome. The course was about 13 miles long and I knew that it was going to be a long tough 3 lap race. After the first lap I had moved my way up to 8th place and on the second lap I had climbed to 5th. Jerry Mena once again gave me a run for my money and kept us both at a blistering pace. We spent the last two laps going back and forth with each other fighting for the lead. This time I managed to get the edge and at the very end when Jerry got hung up on someone stuck in the mud and I made my move and got the pass and the 1st place win. Yea Baby… 1st place!!! Sounds so good!!! Congrats on 2nd Jerry… See you at Gatorback.
