[Libby White]
The first day I had a great start from the front row and had the hole shot up the pavement. The peanut butter mud was so hard to pedal through that I lost all my energy fast. My dad told me to switch out my bike every time I went through the pit because the pit was less muddy and I would be able to have a nice, clean, light bike when I rode out. I didn’t really listen to him and only switched my bike once during the whole race. I started to get really tired and I dropped from first down to third in a 45 (instead of 30) minute race.

The next day I came to the start line with a perfect warm up and hydration. I got the hole shot and on the first tight turn I heard a crash behind me. I decided to listen to my dad this day and change out my bike EVERY time I went through the pit. It definitely helped! In the end, I won day two.
