whiplash race weekend

i just got back from the the whiplash enduro race that was like an hour north of phoenix. i figured it was exciting enough that i should blog about it. so i'll just give you the highlights: the track was a 20 loop that was nothing but mud and water. i rode my yz426f and entered in the 500 class. i smoked 80% of the guys off the line, but then i wrecked a few miles into the first loop. i slowly worked my way back to the middle of the pack, and on my second loop, i hit a slick patch of mud and my bike just washed out from under me. i hit a rock with my back tire... and my chest... but that's what chest protectors are for : ) a few scratches, but i got back up and kept riding. when i made it back to the pits, i was just about to put it in gear when when the guy that was filling my tank said i had a flat tire! i know it sucked. so i only made 2 of the four laps. i also found out that when i fell i broke an oil line- so i guess it's a good thing i stopped or else i would have blown my engine. well i at least got to watch the hot girls and hot bikes. i can sum up the whole race with one word: muddy. it was also pretty tough. the helicopter kept picking guys up the whole time, and i saw a couple riders with broken arms or legs. well i'm alive and i'm ready for the next race!
