Since Tauranga MX Club is holding the 2020 Junior Nationals we are trying to get down to as many race days as possible to learn about the funky sandy clay track they run. I doubled classed today in the 8-11 85 and Junior Open because I have been putting in heaps of work in my off track physical and mental health and doing 5+ motos in a day is a good test. My starts were good and my jumps and line choices had improved since Round 2 but my corner speed let me down. I was in the wrong gear a lot and didn’t carry enough speed in to lean the bike over and power through. I went 5-5-5 for 4th overall in the 8-11 85 class and 11-13 in the junior Open with riders of all ages under 16 on 85s to 250s. I had a fun day and feel good about the progress I am starting to make. There’s a few one day events coming up over the next couple of months so I am going to be out there doing my thing, working towards my goals again and enjoying another summer of moto.
