Santa Clara PAL BMX 8/9/13- Friday Night Lights

Something has clicked with Alessandra, and she definitely gets it now. She's practicing better, and racing much better. Two second place finishes tonight. She finished inches (literally; it was a photo finish. The parents knew that Andrew won because we were standing right at the line, but you couldn't tell from the stands )behind Andrew in the qualifier, and about a bike length behind in the main. The race was pretty much between Alessandra and Andrew; the other kids were a ways back. Great racing!

This picture is with the 3rd place finisher. Not sure what his name is, but they were having fun with their trophies.
