The weather was prime for racing. I headed to the line on my YZ 250 I lined up on the 5th row with about 35 250A riders. I got a great start and was 4th at the top of the hill heading into the woods. I charged ahead trying to gain positions in the overall and class. I went back and forth between 4th and 5th place positions. On the last lap I began to have issues with my hands and was unable to hold on and maintain my race pace. I finished my race with an 8th in class and a 41st overall. Not my best day, but I am headed in the right direction. Now I can figure out what I need to work on to make my performance better and move forward. Thank you everyone for your support.
