First practice back

Last night was awesome. To finally sling my leg over the bike again and crack that throttle to hear the roar of the KX250F felt amazing. I'm feeling a bit stiff today but I'm still buzzing.

I did a total of 3 motos all of varying length, my first being the shortest. Although I felt really good it didn't take long for the dreaded arm pump to set in. I think this is by far the hardest thing when you've had some time off the bike. I'm definitely not up to scratch fitness wise as I haven't been doing much physical activity at all but it didn't seem to affect me much. My lungs and and the rest of my body felt okay but my forearms felt like they were going explode.

Theres nothing I can do about this except ride which is a good thing because thats all I want to do at the moment.

Apart from the arm pump my speed and technique felt good. Bring on racing this Sunday!
