Well this was my last race before mountain bike nationals and I was pumped for the mid-west championships. We drove up on Friday and prerode, it turned out I rode to hard on Friday and was a little bit tired for my race on Saturday evening and didn't have great legs. There were some super fast boys from Colorado and Utah who ended up getting on the podium at nationals. But it was a hard race and I was in 6th for most of the race and lost 6th place because I crashed twice in two dumb spots which was very unfortunate. I lost time and the person in front of me got away. I ended up 7th which was pretty good and I was 3rd in the mid-west. We then went back to our rental cabin and swam in the beautiful lake there and rested up. The next day I had the super-D race. I was excited because I got to race my new scott scale. I had a great start and was in 4th place, right on 3rd places wheel but I slid out on a tricky corner and got passed by 5th I lost the two in front of me and ended up winning a sprint against my friend Nate which is shown in the video. I ended up sixth because a junior in a different wave had a better time. It was a good weekend of racing and was fairly happy but was not pleased about the crashes.
