This race was a very fun race! I decided the night before that I was going to race it, so I loaded up the ol' 125 and headed out there. My race went off at 8:30, and it was a 45 minute race. I ended up getting a second place holeshot behind Luke Reynolds, and I got passed quickly by Mason Ottersburg. I was able to get passed Mason after about a lap and a half, and Luke was way out front. Luke ended up crashing, and I took over the lead. Mason was never more than 20 seconds behind me the whole race, and got pretty close, but I was able to pull away on the last lap to take the win. I had a lot of fun on the little 125, and I will come out for more of these events. Beraaap,

RMEC Chadron, Nebraska 2011
This race was awesome! It was well worth the 18 hour drive that had huge wind the hole way. This race was my first time keeping endure, and I didn't even know what to do. I had a fellow racer named Jim Koch give me a crash course on the ICO computer, and then I was on my own. I was able to perfectly zero out 4 out of 7 checks, and it should have been 5 if it weren't for a cranky checkpoint worker who laughed when I put my foot down at 59 seconds, and made me burn the check, when I really zeroed it out. I was unsure how I was doing in the results, but I ended up getting 1st!! I am very happy and excited about my result! Anyway, I had a ton of fun on some awesome singletrack through the trees with nice moist loamy dirt. It was about a 100 mile race, and I felt good and strong the whole time. Thanks to everybody who helped me out, you guys are the best. Beraaaaaapp!
