3rd IJA competition and award ceremony

So a few weeks ago was the 3rd enduro race here in Guatemala. This time it was in a farm like 45 minutes away from the city in a place called San Jose Pinula.

The race was really complicated compared to the races before this one becuase it had more obstacles and you needed a lot of technique to go around the track. It was also a really big track and because of that it was really tired. The race lasted one hour and twenty minutes. We had to do six laps.

This race was the one that I managed to do better in because I didn’t fall as much as the other ones. I got a second place and I was really happy about it because I accomplished my goal that was being in the first three places but I know that I can be the first place, I just need to correct some mistakes that I made and don’t give up.

My dad, brother and me had a goal, and it was for us to be in the first three places also, like my goal but for all of us. We also accomplished it, my dad got first place in his category, I got second as I told you above and my brother got third in our category.

Selling dirt bike

I started selling my Honda CRF230F because I am going to buy a new one. The one that I want to buy is a Honda CRF150F but this one is for motocross, not enduro like the other one. I am selling the dirt bike without the exhaust because I am going to put that exhaust to the one I am going to buy.

Here are some pictures of the bike that I am selling already cleaned up and without the exhaust:

And some pictures of the one that I am going to buy when I was trying it:

New renthal handlebar

Renthal new handlebar:

This is my new handlebar that I got because the orginal Honda handlebar is really bent because I have fell really hard on my bike. It is from one of the bests handlebar brands, it is Renthal, this handlebar is harder to bend so I think that this one is going to last me and mu bike longer. I ordered it from Amazon so at first i wasn’t sure if it would fit so I did a lot of research and I finally got which one I had to buy.

Honda original handlebar already bent:

Where I want to be when I grow up and where I am to get there

As you know what I really like to do is to play soccer. Where I want to be when I grow up is playing professional soccer. When I was very little I started saying that I wanted to be an astronaut, or an engineer, etc. But now I know that what I really want in my life is to play soccer. But I also have to study something in the university because what happens after stop playing soccer. I need to continue to work and do something else instead of soccer. I still don’t know what I want to study but I think that I will soon know.

But, where I am to get there? I went to two soccer camps in last year’s summer, one in Depauw University and one in Akron University. They were both really cool because I learned a lot from both of them. In Depauw the soccer team coach told me that it would be a really good idea for me to go play soccer there for Depauw. I asked him to be my mentor and we have been exchanging emails about what I need to play in Depauw and to get a scholarship. I think that that is a really big step to get where I want to and there is actually where I am.
