Been back at the hotel the hotel for the last 2 hrs or so with feet up after having to do 2 runs AGAIN in TimeTrial's, that's the last 4 SX races!!!!
I over shot the first jump by loads in run 1 and lost speed, the rest of the lap wasn't too bad but after that mistake it was an uphill struggle to go through on that one.

Run 2 was good other than i've still not launched the triple into turn 1 yet, i've never been in a situation where i'm going into racing not having nailed everything on a track before, but we've got a some practice again in the morning before we start so plenty of time. It's not even that big a jump, it's one of those that you'll always feel that your never going fast enough. I lined up in practice before TT's this morning ready to do it only to get a puncture going to the hill and by the time i sorted that, they had shut the hill for the end of practice.....bad times!! I keep over shooting the first jump so i don't feel i'm set all that good for it, but after watching some riders do it today you can see you don't have to have had a perfect run into it in order to do it. The majority of people who were behind me time wise in run 2jumped it, so i no that my track speed in good enough.

LP had a decent TT and ended up 13th in run1 so was back at the hotel chilling out when i was having to go again.......must be an age thing!!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's racing and just wanna get on with it now.
