After finishing 5th at the last national round in Salt Lake City and deciding to sit out the next day to let my back recover was a good decision. After flying from SLC to Chicago and spending a week here in rockford before racing this past weekend my back now isn't an issue just something to keep on top of (huge relief as it was becoming a big mental test). Saturdays racing I felt great! going 1st, 1st, 3rd in mottos then ended up 5th in the semi...

that was a slap in the face and that gave me some drive and focus for sundays racing.

Sunday I clean swept my motos going 1,1,1. I also won my semi final giving me first lane choice for the 3 finals. I ended up getting the Holeshot award again. I ended up 3rd overall and hitting my first podium in Pro/elite! I through everything I had at the Olympic silver/current World champ but this weekend it wasn't enough.

I have taken alot of confidence from the past few weeks and really looking forward to next weekends USA national in Pittsburg, then its time to come home for the World Champs in Vector arena.
