Yesterday was the last round of the ACT race calendar and my first go at a Div 2 race. I was a bit nervous before the races as some of the kids in the class were so much bigger and faster than me. The track was super muddy and lumpy and I had to start at the gates but I completed all 4 races, getting better each time. When I got too nervous my race mates, who I train with, gave me advice and made me feel better. My coach, John Prutti, was racing too and I got to watch him – he is a really good rider and one day I’m going to race him.
