The last stop of my epic eight week adventure was held in Charlotte North Carolina over the weekend. The USA BMX event was held the same weekend as the BMX Supercross World Cup round in Argentina. Some riders opted to chase the USA series and some the World Cup series. We got lucky with the weather in NC, storms where forecast for race day however we got some rain but luckily nothing to affect the racing. The USA BMX Pro Womens class seems to be stepping up every race with the level of competition and battles going on, increasing.
Day one I was definitly feeling the past two months crazy non stop adventures with my legs feeling heavy and sluggish. Over the three finals format where lowest points wins. I had some great battles with
Dominique Daniels and
Amanda Geving for the podium spots with
Alise Post showing a
convincing top of the podium performance. Amanda ended up with the third position and I was just off the podium finishing up in fourth.
Day 2 the battles continued with myself and
Alise Post coming together on the first turn causing a crash behind us in the second final. Overall for day two I was happy with how I raced finishing up in third position.
Thats a wrap on this past..
