My latest race was this past weekend at Conyers, GA where I finished 7 in the 11 to 14 age group.  This was my first time riding this course.  I was nervous because I was not able to pre-ride and it was raining, but Coach Chris explained that it was not a technical course and that he felt I would do fine.  I felt good when we took off the starting line because I was able to keep up with the pack and I even passed another racer.  I was about to pass second racer but my back tire slid away as we were going around a corner.  This was the muddiest race I have ever done and I was not sure it would ever stop raining.  I was so excited when I was in the muddy field and I heard the announcer's voice I knew I was almost finished.  I would like to say thank you to LeRoy and all your staff for all the fine tuning and adjustments that you made on my bike last week. I would also like to Thank all the people that encouraged my to do my best.
