Day 7

Sorry for the delay in updating my practice in Spain.  Dad went out on Tuesday and I had a sleepover with Austin and Byron (Team Johnson), a big thank you, to you for having me and I had such a fun evening.  Prior to the sleepover the day had gone really well, we were at the track for 0900hrs and the great news was that Josh was back riding with us. I was out on my bikes again riding my 10mm to the limit and getting more used to my 14mm. I was then told that I could only compete in either the 10 or 14 but not both, it seemed silly going backwards so I decided to enter the 14mm pros.

I was still getting used to my 14mm and was finding it a bit of a handful on this super fast track (I kinda wanted my 10 back as I was so much more comfortable on it).  persevered however and started to enjoy the extra speed especially along the straight!  Because I was struggling with the power as I was exiting the bends my friend and coach Sarah from M4 academy suggested that Dad put a smaller sprocket on the rear to make the bike less aggressive.  He did this and as ever Sarah was right, my lap times improved and I became more confident on the bike when exiting the corners. By the second afternoon session I was starting to enjoy riding the 14 so much better.

All my academy mates were doing great as well, getting used to the track and starting to push the limits.
