Budu Race #6 @ South Seatac Park

Today we are back to the old familiar South Seatac Park. We on the west side do a LOT of races here and it's also a fun place to race, as long as you don't do it too often. The course today was the exact opposite of of what we did earlier in the season. We did 16 miles of fast rolling singletrack. The rain held off and the trails were pretty dry so it turned out to be a great race for most. There was one very unfortunate event that I hope we hear a follow-up. A sport racer was warming up and playing on the jumps and he cased the landing and went in hard. 911 was called and they boarded him and took him to harborview. I really hope he's OK and hopefully we'll hear something.

So the Budu series is over for this year. It turned out to be a good series and hopefully good prep for Indie and the rest of the season.

Today I got my first podium place for the season. 3rd place in the race and 2nd place in Expert for the series. So no matter what happens for the rest of the season I'm happy.

Next week is Sea Otter so we'll see how this early season series has prepared me.
