Today was the first Tauranga Boys College Interschools MX Challenge at TECT Park. Over 300 students from schools all over the North Island entered in primary, Intermediate and College levels. I was entered in the 8-10 year Pro 65 class which rode with the 8-10 year 85s. My class had 11 kids in it and most of them I have ridden with before at different events between Auckland and Palmerston North. The track was really nice and I rode well getting better with each race. My lap times were the most consistent they have been with only 2 seconds between race 1 and race 3. I finished the day 4th overall with 5-4-3. I was really proud of how I did especially when this track is well known for being harder to ride by the end of the day with all the big bikes tearing it up. I go to a little country school and our school shirts are lime green so I dyed my hair green to match and rode to stand out. Was pretty stoked to get a write up in the school newsletter too.
