Last weekend, the first two runs of the Suzuki BMX Federal League
took place in Erlangen!! I hadn't made up any goals for myself,
due to the injury I suffered in the winter. The motto was: ride
along and see how you fare!!
There were some surprises on the weekend. One was the number
of starters, 317… wow, we hadn't had that in a while!! Also,
us bikers were competing with the scalding heat, more than the
other riders, which is why I was honing my already limited strength
during the preliminaries. Surprisingly, I was still able to
place 1-3-3!!
After finishing 3rd in the semi, all that was left was the final!!
However, when you screw up on the start and take the outside
track, your ability to kick ass becomes diminished!! After playing
catch up from last to 5th place, I was completely satisfied!!
Sunday things went almost identically: preliminaries 1-1-1,
semi 3rd and 5th in the final, on the outer track!! Overall,
I'm satisfied and know in which area I need a little practice!!
See ya, greetings
