Race Report Rd12, St Clairesville Ohio

After last weekend I was determined to have a good race this weekend to keep my championship hopes alive. 

I turned up at the track on Friday afternoon to pick up the mechanics, the rain was coming down and it looked like it was going to be a wet one.  Saturday the sun and wind came out and dried the place up pretty good.

Sunday morning I went out and mountain biked a bit of the course, the condition’s were going to be perfect and I was ready to go.  After a decent start I went into the woods in about 8th place, towards the end of the first lap I had moved into the lead. I was feeling pretty good and tried to go straight away.  I felt good and felt like I rode strong all day and going into the last lap had a little over a minute on 2nd place, I took it easy the last lap to make sure I took the win.

By getting the win I was able to keep the championship within my reach for one more race, it is a slim chance but anything can happen and I wont give up until the final flag is waved.  We now go on a 3 week break so I will keep on training and riding .

Thanks again for all the help
