2 Crashes + 1 Chain Drop = 3rd Overall


Last night was the 8th and final installment of the 2006 Boulder Short Track Series. Going into the race I held a very tenuous four point lead in the in overall standings. I had a great start and was in third place going into the hole shot. I quickly moved into second place and was feeling good. Then it all fell apart. Coming out of the trap I took a corner wrong and went over the handle bars. Got back up only to discover my chain was off. After getting my chain back on I jumped back into race only to crash again before the first lap was over. Ended up finishing 16th and dropping to third place in the overalls.


Game face...

The start...

Working the corners and...

...trying to stay upright

The sun sets on the 2006 short track season with a podium for the overalls.
