seson underway

So a good start to the season, two races down, and feeling better each week. The first race of the year was the Quebec season opener in Magog, great course, fast and technical, real nice. I had a great start, but didn't feel great mid race. By the final two laps, things began to start clicking again, and a strong finish was in order. In the end it would be a successful beginning with a place on the top step of the podium.
Week two kept us home in Ottawa, for the Eastern Ontario season opener at Britania Park. A bit of rain the night before, dampened the course, but other than being a bit slick, it was still a fast one. Not too technical, a few tricky corners, made trickier with the wet, but still fast. A slow start this week would force me to work my way back up, using the small hill I was able to make my way up as high as third overall at one point. By race's end I ended up with another first place (in category) and a very nice fourth in the overall, just a few seconds off of third.
Next week back to the Quebec series for round three in Trois Rivieres, (missing round two due to work). Looking forward to another good weekend!
