Well, we got in Friday night and I did the unclassified which was horrible and a waste of time and money, but what do you do.
I raced in the Women's C class at 3:45pm. Boy was it eventful for me. Talk about so many different emotions in such a short time. I started out dead last. I worked my way up to first in my class on the first lap. In the back section where it got rocky and stuff I snapped my left wrist really good. It hurt soo bad! I continued on probably due to adrenaline and all that good stuff plus I knew I was in First. I finished the first lap in first. On the second lap I was humming along pretty good. I couldn't see either of the other two girls in my class. They were a pretty good ways back. I can't quite remember the exact location of my crash but it was a good one. It threw me off the quad pretty hard and I smahed into the ground on my head and rolled. I got up and looked for my quad. I got on and tried to start it and nothing was happening. I kept trying to start. It wouldn't start and I'm thinking I am in first come on...come on. The photolady finally came over and at about that time I realized my kill switch has come off...doh....
Then I get it started and I take off...in the wrong direction...I had no idea which way I was supposed to be giong and finally the other two girls had caught up so I turned around and started going the right way. I had caught back up right when you get to the haybails (the finish part) and the clock said 10 + minutes. I was there again. I passed the girl in second and was coming up on the girl in first to pass her right at the second corner and as I go to pass I get stuck. I couldn't get out. What misery!!! I must have been there for a minute or two which we all know is time. Finally a guy came over and managed to give me the little nudge I needed. I got out and was on my way. I caught back up but it was too late we were at the finish. I placed third which was last.
I can't explain how bummed I was and still am. I know I did really good! Especially being on a 400ex and it only being my 4th race but still...to be last, get in first, kill your hand, crash, get back in first and then get stuck.
I ended up going to the hospital for my hand because it was really killing me. Apparently its fractured.
