Well even though, I was out of the racing for the weekend with tendonitis in my left foot, that wasn't gonna stop me from heading out to the races to support Holden and Kristi.
The morning started off with a bang, literally, when as we were headed South bound on I-405, after hitting a large bump, the trailer disconnected from the truck, and boy did the sparks fly. We quickly pulled over to the side and got the trailer jacked back up and remounted to the hitch. I'm still not sure how or why it became disconnected, but the rest of the trip down and back were without problems.
The racing was great with "tons" of mud on what is normally a brutal course regardless. Again, I wasn't racing, so I was able to commit 100% to Holden and then Kristi's race. Holden had a fantastic race in the deep mud (nearly knee deep in spots) and really pushed himself to his limits. He raced like a champ and really learned once again, what one can do when it comes to pushing your limits. Way to go Holden.
Kristi, was coming back from a week or so of fatigue and illness. She looked much better out on the course, with no bike troubles, only pitting once for a clean bike. She earned a strong 2nd place behind a Sunnyside Sports rider from Oregon. A good comeback race for her after last weekend.
Tomorrow will be my first day back on the bike in a week, and I'm really looking forward to getting back on. This weekend is one of my favorite courses, Sedro Woolley. Hopefully I have a chance to loosen up and get ready for another good result on one of the best courses for me.
Thanks for reading and I will keep you posted.
