July 16, 2022 - Door County Kids' Triathlon (Group Age: 6)
Chappy Hines was able to compete in the Door County Kids' Triathlon in Egg Harbor, WI. Being a USAT sanctioned event, he was placed in the 6 year old age group. This is the youngest someone can be for this event.
Distance Covered Swim = 50yd Bike = 1/2 mile Run = 1/3 Mile
Chappy placed 6th out of 18 overall and 6th out of 10 for the boys. He enjoyed it and can't wait to do another one. Now we just need to teach him how to swim.
We're sure glad we had a conflict on Saturday, because it dumped on the riders at Rad Canyon BMX. However, Sunday morning racing meant getting up at 6:30 so we could make it over to the track with lots of time before racing. A total of 13 riders meant 2 motos were created for qualifying. Of the 7 total in Moto 89, only 4 kiddos would make it to the main.
Chappy had a great start in his first Moto and was able to qualify with Holden. Yesterday, Holden won the class so we were excited they would get a chance to compete. With a lane 4 assignment in Main Moto 50, we were feeling pretty good knowing he just had to get out fast and ahead of Holden.
To our surprise, T-Rex Alder in Lane 1 would get a good start and start to create a gap. Pretty impressive for a 4 year old on a micro-mini. On the 3rd straight Chappy was able to use his local knowledge of the track and skill to get closer. Then with a cut in on the last turn it was a drag race. The camera view from the stands was a little shaky because I was screaming so much. He was able to chase Tucker down and capture his 8th win as a Novice. Congrats Chappy!

Chappy and I head out to Utah Motorsports Campus for Cars and Coffee, presented by Godfrey Proof. It was wet, but I knew it would be more memorable. They had track laps, autocross, and provided an opportunity to meet more car enthusiasts.
Still working on getting the best audio out of my gear, so thanks for being patient.
We'll be back again, but hoping the weather gets better.

Chappy has been feeling a little under the weather this last week, but with the season coming to a close, we wanted to get him and Rue some more seat time. John was back again and instead of racing Mason, he got to race Atticus. This meant it was Chappy against a fast eight and nine year old. With being new to Eclipse, he doesn't really know anyone on the team so it's fun for them to meet while in the staging area. He's doing great, but I can't wait to see how much faster he is when he's healthy again. Congrats on going faster around the track than last week.

Another great night of racing for Chappy. During Heat 1 with Chappy in the lead, Rowan gets too much air trying to catch up to him and crashes right into the next bump. He's able to recover enough, race heat 2 and make it to the Main. From the outside position Chappy raced hard but had a pedal slip on the second straight. He was also looking at Rowan a lot. It's helpful to look where you want to ride, not the other riders. He pedaled hard, but didn't have what was needed for the win tonight.

Another Wednesday night meant more racing at Winnebagoland BMX in Oshkosh Wisconsin. While Chappy had to race 6 year old Intermediates again, we know it could be worse as other 5i's have been placed in 7 or 8 Intermediate groups where they get crushed.
Learning from last week, we moved towards focusing on one thing we can control: Lap Times. Last week Chappy would get frustrated and slow down when he knew he was going to lose. This week, he used the kids as something to chase down. On the first heat of the night he got a Personal Best of 50.3 Seconds. Now that he as specific goal thats attainable, he can work towards getting a faster lap time.

BMX Registration Day is an event where racing is free and it's an opportunity to get on the track and see what BMX is all about. Chappy won the Flag Lap to kickoff the evening. Only four kiddos in the 5 and under Novice Group. Chappy coasted to a victory in his first heat as well as the main. We're hoping once the BMX Racing League (beginner league) ends, more 5 and unders will flood into this group.

Saturday, November 19th was a big day for the Hines'. Earlier in the day, Rue took part in a beginner clinic at Rad Canyon. She did amazing and was able to make it around the track all by herself for the entire clinic. However, it turns out that she didn't save any energy for racing that evening. Of course, we had already signed her up and thought she'd be able to make it. We were wrong and hope she'll forget all about the outcome of this first race. After two motos, she was unable to qualify for the main. We'll be excited to see her progress this winter. Congrats on your first real BMX race!
Chappy was in for a fight with Jacash and Rowan. As you'll see, Rowan was stoked to see Chappy in the lane before the first moto. With total points being the name of the game, it was nice that Chappy could get some more track time. He had some good moments during his races, but ultimately landed in 3rd place. We only raced Saturday this weekend, but hope to get more racing done the next indoor weekend (Dec 2nd - 4th).

We finally made it out to Rad Canyon again. The week prior, Chappy was sick with a stomach bug. Despite not feeling 100%, we wanted to take advantage of the good weather as the outdoor season starts to come to a close. We had two 6 Experts and two 5 Intermediate. That meant one kid would be left out. Chappy tried hard, but just wasn't able to stay ahead of Aleks for a spot in the main. This was his first time not making a main as a 5i. It's a right of passage in a way. With just three weekends left, we'll see how things go the rest of the season.
