This is a race that I shouldn’t even have raced… I went into this race sick with bronchitis and slight fever. Not to mention my back had been bothering me pretty bad (racing with the massive herniated disk against doctors suggestions). But as stubborn as I can be I raced anyways. The points championship is to close to not give it my all. Well I got a good start 3rd place and within the first 5 minutes I was in 2nd with a pretty good lead. Then my body started letting me know that I shouldn’t be out here. I could got get into my groove, my hands were weak, forearms were killing me, short of breath, and the whoops were killing my back. After a few minutes Jerry Mena was right on my ass yelling for me to get going or move. I didn’t think I would make even 1 lap. Well, after 3 - 10mile laps of the most insane sugar sand whoops I have ever seen I managed to pull a 7th place finish (my worst in the last 8 races). Since the race I have been in bed sick as a dog for 3 days straight…. I hope I can recover before the next race or I can kiss my chance of beating Jerry and Jeff for the championship goodbye!
