Welp that's a wrap!
Unfortunately my GoPro died right before the main event. But my GF recorded the whole main from the stands.
Had a 16th gate pick for the main. I decided to choose a far outside gate as it seemed like everyone was getting bunched up on the inside like in the heat. I got a great jump off the gate again and was probably 3rdish going down the long start straight and sure enough, guys bunched up on the inside and I just stayed wide and pulled out a 5th or so start. I think I was a little too nice throughout the race as a few guys got by me but I feel like I rode well. The track was really tough, the whoops were gnarly, and there was a SX triple after the whoops I only managed to double single. I think that's ultimately what cause me to lose so many positions as a few of the top guys were sending it. I was in 8th or 9th for a little while and kinda lost steam at the end there and finished 11th. 1 position outside a trophy! Darn.
Overall I had a lot of fun.
Can't thank
@Mark911 enough for helping out today. He brought his luxury sprinter and helped out with mechanic duty all day. Thanks for being a great friend, Mark!
I'll be putting together a vlog of the day this week, so keep an eye out for it!
