Day three is officially over. Today was shorter than usual but don't worry, it was still miserable. When we woke up at 6:00 it was a little cloudy, then before the race it turned sunny! It looked to be a nice sunny day, but as soon as I started the motorcycle, it started raining, and it only stopped when I hit the kill switch for the last time at the end of the day. We covered around 240 kilometers, mostly dirt road. We had a couple fun special tests with a lot of sand, but a couple others with nasty wet rocks. We were pretty much riding in mud and ruts all day. At the end of the day I busted out a flawless tire change with time to spare. So the day went pretty good, I didn't drop any trail points, and I stayed smooth. I can't ask for ouch more than that! Thanks for reading,

Great news, Max! You sound confident and about as settled as anyone could get in this gnarly race. Your lightning-quick tire changes are as impressive (to me)as not dropping any trail points.
Keep your spirits up and your mind calm.

Great Job Max! Keep posting!
Way to go, Max. You're halfway there. You're doing an amazing job and we were cheering you on at the ATR meeting last night. Keep up the fantastic work!
Keep up the pace. Sounds like you have a good strategy. Glad you busted out all those years of knarly rocks in arizona, huh!
