Up until saturday,and even sunday morning,i didnt feel like riding...only turned up because dad was moaning at me:rolleyes:

Practice: I know the track pretty well,so took my 4 laps of practice just to see how far i could jump of the last hill coming back into the field:xbeer :lol:

Qualify race: Had a ok start,and was in 11th i think untill the last lap when i stalled it,and 2 riders got past me:rolleyes: into the 'B' group,which i was pretty gutted with.

Race 1. Got another fairly good start and made a few places up and felt like i was riding well...finished 7th:)

Race 2. Got a good jump,came round the 1st corner in 3rd,and exiting the corner onto the long straight,used the 450 to power into the lead:eek: This is the 1st time iv ever been out front,and to say i got nervous was a understatement:lol: think i held it for about 4 laps,then got passed and tried to relax myself and calm down...on the 2nd last lap,got past again....3rd.....got him back on the last lap once again,but going up the hill i couldnt hold on and he got me back....ended up 3rd :xbeer

Race 3. Knew i was going to be close to the front again,and came around the 1st turn in 3rd i think....quickly moved into 2nd....and waited untill we jumped back into the field to move into the lead...in front of all the commentry tower,and where everyone could see:lol:
i told myself to see how fast i could go,and put my head down and went...on the 4th lap (i think) i stalled it in the very bottom corner.....no one was near....i later found out i had a 5 or so second lead on 2nd:rolleyes: a few caught up,and i dropped back to 2nd....then trying to hard,i made myself really tired and crossing the line i was 4th:(

It was good enough for 3rd overall though :xbeer

cheers coach:xbeer

I was pretty annoyed i missed out on the A group,but enjoyed myself alot more battling for the lead,rather than being near the field.

I think i could run top 15 in A group:)
