(Win #7) August 5th, 2022 Great Salt Lake Nationals, Rad Canyon BMX, 5 & Under Novice
We took Chappy and Rue to their first big event. We're lucky enough to live close by Rad Canyon BMX, home of Great Salt Lake Nationals. Rue was able to run Strider while Chappy continued to dominate the 5 Novice Class. We're telling him to enjoy it now since things will get much harder in Intermediate.
Rue raced 3 Balance Bike, and man were they quick getting people racing. She raced the first heat, got 5th out of 6, and wanted some water. Meanwhile, they were starting the next moto. She missed Heat 2 and had to wait for Heat 3. She placed 4th, and seemed a little slow, but still had fun and got a huge participation trophy.
Chappy had 9 kids in class with two chances to get into the Main. He had a great start in Heat 1 and made it to the Main. Then we waited what felt like hours, because it was. We played some Uno and hung out around the car. Chappy got a better lane of 4 in the Main, had a great start and was able to come home with his 7th win. The next day he would race a triathlon before coming back to race at Nationals on Sunday.
