With the level of the girls class increasing and no one willing to back down crashes seem to be becoming more common.. Saturday’s first final saw Dominique Daniels push Alise Post over the top of the first turn crashing herself in the process and taking down me and four others. The second final I placed 5th and the last final I scraped through in 3rd place, giving me an overall placing of 4th! 
Sunday’s racing played out in a similar fashion to day one. The first final I went from third place to first place with a photo finish between Alise, Brooke and myself. The second final I crashed in the same spot as on day one, this time involving Brooke Crain falling whilst battling with Alise Post taking down half the racers once again. I managed to regain composure, take a deep breath and tough it out placing second in the last final giving me an overall placing of 2nd! What a weekend: #Stiff&Sore #Massage&Chiro #Bath&Rest Let the next eight week journey begin… [BMX & Mountain Biking][4 race weekends][8 competitions][4 international flights to Australia and back to America twice][6 time zones] ….Hold on for the ride!
