Womens Canadian Natioanl West Series
Round 2 Edmonton 2nd Amber Giroux, 1st Denaye Giroux, 3rd Karly Pozdnekoff
So the Canadian womens West National Series is now over, and with results lower than what I was expecting of myself I am left a little bummed out. Round 1 in Kamloops started off great for me I won the first moto, but the second moto I had a bad start and had to work my way up. Having only 12 minute motos now really doesn't give much time to catch up after a mistake. On the last lap of the second moto I got tangled up with a lapper and fell in a corner moving me back to 3rd. 2nd overall for the day. We then moved on to Edmonton I was feeling comfortable on the track and had great results with a 1st 1st getting the overall for the day. I was sitting 10 points ahead of everyone heading in to the last round at Calgary. I was feeling a lot of pressure that day and just was not riding like myself out there. The first moto I spun out on the concrete and had a bad start. Again I had to work my way up to the front. The track was hard to pass on but I made it back up to 3rd. After I regrouped and got myself ready for the 2nd moto I was feeling a lot better. I had a great holeshot and had things under control out front until I made a silly mistake and fell over in a corner, by the time I got my bike up it had already stalled, and it took me a bit to get it going. By this time I was at the back of the pack and to win the west I would have to make it back up to 3rd. I put my head down and charged back up only making it to 5th. I was extremely disappointed in myself. I had no one to blame but myself and a small mistake. I finished 2nd overall in the West Series. Now that a few days have passed I know what I need to work on. And I think the experience in calgary has only made me a stronger person and has made me want to push even more to do better. I am just on my way to Denver to race my 2nd WMA race this year. I am really excited and can't wait to race against the fastest girls in the world!
