Determination

I find that I can be a very determined person if I wanted to...

Yesterday's race was ubber challenging yet ubber tough, yet ubber painful. I fell twice, firstly as I was braking away from the crowd, 2nd when my lever got stuck due to the first fall. But I pressed on and managed to lap 2 riders bringing my position to 11th for the first heat.

The 2nd heat was just as exciting but a fall from the other rider slowed me down as I have to slow down to avoid them. I pressed on again and this time round just managed to get 10th place.

The overall results has not been released yet as a participant is pending disqualification as he doesn't really qualify for the category I participated in due to he has been to the podium and certainly not eligible for a supernovice category. So I might after all get a top 10 position woots! But out of 15 riders, well that's not really fantastic....I'm just pleased that my best lap timing of 50secs is not that far from that 48-49secs that the top riders of my category clocked....so meaning I just need to make every lap a perfect run and most probably I can get top 5 in the next round, sound too ambitious? It is achievable with much practise.

Looks like I'm going to spend more moolahs....I damaged my handguards and my helmet during the fall. Next in the shopping list are:

-A new full face helmet
-Handguards
-Unbreakable levers
-size 43 sprockets and chain
-race number plate
-radiator coolant + engine oil
-lap timer if i have extra cash.
-and of course new sets of rubbers, I heard dunlop Alpha-10 has pretty good feedbacks.

And on top of all that, my trip in April...woots...have to go on diet and less movies. LoL.

Now, my whole body's aching and my knees pretty stiff...I hope I can run on saturday. And I need to invest in a new knee brace, I think it's crucial during race days, yest was a big mistake to wear the nike one, should've worn the other with metal strips by the sides for added support and stability.

I'm waiting for the replies from the photographers, pretty rad pics but they are not giving it away for free....damn money shuckers....LoL but i'll give them credits for snapping away in the hot sun...
