This past weekend October 6-7, the Red Hawks headed to Kentucky for regionals. The first day we raced short track and dual slalom. It rained the day before so the short track race was a bit sloppy but nothing to bad. The course included a hill climb, some single track and a couple of BMX style jumps/rollers depending who rode them. Then on Sunday we did the cross country race. The course was muddy but since the soil was made up of mostly clay it didn't do to much to affect the race. A couple sections were slippery but nothing to bad. I ended up taking 9th behind some pro level riders. Now with a weekend off the Red Hawks are heading down to Angel Fire, NM for nationals. We are driving down a couple days before and riding down there trying to get used to the course. Also this will give me some time to see my grandparents before I race cause they are coming down from CO to watch the race. Then racing will take place on friday the 19th-21st. I will be racing on Friday and Saturday. The cross country race is first and will be about a 5 mile loop with 2.5 miles up the hill and 2.5 down. I'm guessing it will be fairly similar to last year but a little less muddy. Then Saturday will be short track and if things go the way they have been this whole year a Red Hawk may be on the podium. Time to pack up and get ready for a great week down in NM.
