Hey everyone, I know this is a little late (okay, really late) but I’ve been traveling so try and cut me some slack.

Wrap-up

The last day and final moto was uneventful for us, which at this point is a pretty good thing. Day 6 was just a 25 or 30 kilometer minute road ride (no trails or anything difficult) out to the motocross track, and then a 4.5 hour wait for our heat to come up. The moto was 7 laps, and lasted maybe 20 minutes tops, if that. The track was pretty sweet – nothing too scary or dangerous, and probably the smoothest terrain we rode all week. I finished 4th, and I believe Jamie was 9th and Mandi 14th, but I won’t swear to it. So yeah, that’s another ISDE in the books: Mandi’s fourteenth event, my fourth, and Jamie’s first. None of us are really satisfied with how we ended up, but that’s okay. There’s always another year, and I expect that our team will come back stronger and better prepared next time. TEAM USA!
