[QUOTE="truespode, post: 323805, member: 29329"] Saturday night (4-20-02) was fun for the most part. I did ok but not as well as I felt I should have. I ran the 250D and the Unlimited D. In 250D I got 12 out of 17 in the heat race. It was a lot of fun and I felt pretty good. I had a HORRIBLE start. I think I was 2nd to last out of the first turn. That really sucked b/c I had the jump out of the gate but they caught me within the first 20 feet and passed me. In the Unlimited D heat I got 12 out of 13. I stalled it on the last lap as I set up a guy for a pass. I had 5 people behind me at the time and was feeling really good! In the 250D main I stalled again and got 14 out of 17. However, 2 peopled didn't start so I was actually second to last. I wasn't too worried b/c after I stalled I gave up so much time that the +30 class lapped me while I was trying to start the bike. There was nobody I could catch after that. In the Unlimited D main I had a blast!! I finished 10 out of 13. However, I had a HORRIBLE start!! I was in last place after the first turn. We had 1 DNS so I was able to catch 2 people for my 10th place. One was #2, Lori. Last year she would catch me and pass me on the second to last or last lap. She is better in the turns than I am and last year was better in the whoops. I was exhausted in the main but I was able to catch her and pass her in the whoops. I then went wide in all the turns as I was trying to save energy. It worked b/c I put half a straight away on her by the end. Last year, her and I both finished mid-pack so I'm thinking there were a lot of people who A- didn't race that raced last year and B- sandbagged. There were a couple of people out there that I know had to have been sandbaggers but it really didn't matter. It was still fun. I think my speed is about the same, maybe slightly better, than last year. I know my jumping is better b/c I felt a lot more comfortable in the air. I still need to work on my conditioning but mostly the conditioning of my arms. I was really worried about my legs and my back but neither of those bothered me. It was mostly my arms. My fore-arms and bi-ceps are really sore today but overall I feel better than I did last year the day after only running one class at JMX.
