Jeep #3

I have been so sick since the World Champs and I am surprised my head didn't explode on the flight over to Colorado for this weekend's Jeep Series race. I have been doing my best to conserve energy and fight this cold but there is no rest for the wicked so I've been racing instead! Qualifying went better than expected. I pulled out a 5th place qualifying result which lined me up against Anneke Beerten in the quarter finals. I did what my lungs could do but Anneke was definately the faster rider this weekend and left me to enjoy 5th place and a massive finish line coughing fit! Katrina Miller pulled out a good race though. She won! It was good to see her smiling and hucking some big jumps again. Off to World Cup finals next weekend in Schladming, Austria. Let's hope my body decides to pull it together for the last event of the year!
