The Jennings 3

Buster has been going down to the BMX track since he was about 3 so we figured it was time for his first real race a few weeks back. He was racing in the 4/5/6 yr group so had a fair amount of competition but did great for his first go - the hardest bit was trying to help him balance in the start gate. Anyway - after taking a sneaky short cut in the first race (cant blame the lad) and being relegated to last he got the hang of it and had some good fun despite a few very nearer misses down the first straight - Lisa was feeling the stress. He 'podiumed' one round and eventually ended up 6th overall. He got a cool ribbon and a free chocolate bar - very pleased with himself. Seeing all the little nippers with their huge helemets on ripping round then shaking each others hands at the end was fun. Its winter here now so not much going on but come spring he is up for joining the club and going down each Sunday. As you can imagine I have started him on a strickt regime of protein shakes, bench presses and interval training.
