welll, they sooo wipe the floor with me. Although I avoided wrecking which is better than most in my class. One guy must have been carried out to the hospitial. 17 people in 250C. I had one of the worse starts of my life. I hesitated and it put me straight to the back. I was told there would be 3 and 4 laps 2 motos. They didn't tell us which order though. I raced through, and it looked to me like the flagger was flagging me off the way he looked at me and seemed to point to the staging area. About a dozen people saw why I got confused and and saw me go back to the pits thinking the race was over, the other 388 didn't haha, so they must have took me as a dumbass. After that I went back to the truck, poped my bike up, grabbed a cold water and headed to watch the pros. After about 2 classes I started feeling sick and really lightheaded. I went back to the truck for awhile and then found out I wasn't racing my 2nd moto for another like 3 hours I went to wait it out but didn't feel well so we loaded up and went home. Am I disappointed in myself, yes, because I quit under my own free will, I forgot my techniques that I have been practicing for years, and picked a bad gate. On top I didn't make any outdoor practices and expected too much of myself for the first race. Did I regret going? Absolutly not, I raced and have that much to say for myself, more than most people. Now I have a month to get stronger, smarter, and faster. I can take advantage of this and come back better than ever May 1st. There will be many races this year and I screwed one up, all I can do is get better for the next. Don't whine, Don't blame, and Don't make excuses. I just have to work harder to be faster and nothing more. Although I did meet some real cool people along the way in addition. Anyone who is racing their first, you will lose most likey so ride smart and safe and treat it like a practice. Don't try to be a hero, and most definatly no matter what, don't quit, DON'T! that was the biggest flaw I ever made.
