ok, well, for me the day was very long. mad props to the free air compressor from VMP. once out on the course, it was slippery as hell. the 1st run, i proceeded to perfrom my first spin out. brakes and hold on!

the second run, i checked up for the slippery slalom, but punched it the rest of the way, finding out the brake zone limits. murdering a cone at the start of the horse shoe

the third, was going terrific until one corner i set up for, hit the brakes, and it felt like nothing happened. i'm still not sure if i hit some oil, locked the brakes up, or was low on brake fluid (checked it later) and didn't get any resistance. i didn't hear any squealing so i dunno? so literally going through the wall of cones killed that run.

4th run, i needed a clean one, as i was substituing for jackie's absense on the other runs. I broke earlier in a few questionary spots, and managed to pull out a clean run of 45.0XX. the National Pro in my class ran a 44.2XX so i guess i did ok for a conservative run.

i heard that the pros are in a different class than regular races so i might have got first in my class. i didn't see anyone faster than me in my class, but i could have missed them. overall it was fun, a great day weather wise, and i'll definitely be at VMP for the next one.
