Just updating this site since I haven't all year.  This year has been pretty good so far, almost every track I've been to has been a new track to me so I'm learning a lot and the competition at the pro-am races has been really fast.  The beginning of the season I was a little rusty, but my speed/ lap times at the last few races are on par with the top 10-15, but bad starts have been holding me back.  The last couple months I am starting to feel a lot faster though and as soon as I can get a holesot down I'm confident I'll be in the top 10.  My goal right now for the Pro-Ams are top 20 finishes (when they have a full gate) and I've met that a few times and hopefully by the end of the year I can raise that goal higher.  I wanted to race a couple CMRC Nationals in July as well, the competition up there is solid with a lot of veterans in the top 10 but I think the speed/ pace at these Pro-Am races are a lot higher through the mid pack since the pro-am races are usually shorter sprint motos.  With the longer motos up there I hope I can make it to a race soon to try something different.

Unfortunatley though at my last race in Muddy Creek I got taken out by a high speed first turn crash on the outside and a handlebar that hit on the end of my elbow has caused a deep bone bruise/ contusion.  I let it rest a couple weeks and started riding but it swelled but up to where I couldn't move it again so I'm not sure how long it will take to heal.  For now I'll have to rest it and when it gets better I can only ride corners for a while because it can't hold my weight landing off jumps.  As you can see below, I got a duck elbow guard for now and we'll see how that helps me get through motos (if it doesn't work I'll try a different pillow pet).
