Jeep #2

Things just wrapped up at the 2nd round of the Jeep King of the Mountain Series here in San Luis Obispo, CA. The event here is always a good one, cool track, awesome hotel and great parties. Racing was a blast! I made some big mistakes in qualifying. I ended up not jumping much of anything on the track and I was surprised to be only 2seconds behind the fastest ladies. With a 4th place qualifying position I drew Joanna Petterson in my first heat. JoJo is a great racer and a good friend, but I bested her at the end of two runs to move on to the semi-finals. I drew Anneke Beerten in the semis, but she managed to slip past me and advance to the finals, leaving me to battle it out with Tara Llanes for 3rd place. T-dawg beat me to the line in our first heat and I knew I had to step it up to knock this experienced rider into fourth. I put my race head on and sprinted my butt off and was rewarded with a 3rd place finish! My first podium at the prestigious Jeep King of the Mountain Events! You can check the race out on CBS Sports September 23rd, 5-6pm
