Chandler's BMX race this past Thursday went really well. There were 8 kids in his moto (8 year old Novice.) Chandler had to place 1-4 for the first race or 1-3 in the second race to qualify for the main race. He's really been working with Scott on how to pump his arms over the hills (I don't know what they are really called) and to pedal consistently. He really has improved his time and seems to be getting a little more aggressive with racing ahead of the kids in front of him. On Thursday he placed 4th in the first race but the second race he place 1st. He beat out four other kids! He did well in the main race. He placed 4th again but was close to being 3rd most of the race. He was really cute when we were eating dinner before heading to the track. He gets really nervous to race but just told us he knows if he is just having fun that he'll do well. He gets his new bike this next Tuesday. I'm really proud of his willingness to contribute $50 towards the bike. I like to see him invested in things that he wants to do, he seems to stay more excited about it. Chandler would be so thrilled for any of you to watch him race so here's the 411:
