My first moto out I felt pretty quick for 3 laps and then the arm pump set in really bad. I think it was a combination of not warming up properly and riding way too tense.
My second moto was much better and I managed to ride consistently for 20 minutes. I felt really comfortable on the jumps which was one of my main reasons for going to the practice track. I feel I really need to work on my arms and upper body strength/fitness as I feel they are my biggest downfall at the moment. My legs, lungs, heart and breathing all feel strong.
Mason gave me a few tips. He said I need to loosen up loads. He also told me to lean forward whilst accellerating in order to save my arms. Now that I think about it, it is something that all the pro's seem to do when they are under hard accelleration. This definitely helped me in my last moto of the day especially when the track was at its worst. I'm going to continue working on this technique.
So my goal now is to work on my upper body fitness and to obviously work on technique in order to conserve energy and not tire my upper body too quickly.
