Friday - class room, no problem, listen and learn.
Saturday - some pushed me and I pushed others. Then we started them up! I was able to get clutch control pretty quick. I thought I did well through most of the exercises. A couple of jerks forward, a few stalls but overall not a bad first day!
THATS RIGHT!!!!!!!! I TOOK MY CSC(MSF) COURSE THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!
Then came Sunday!!! Temperatures reached 30+C (90+F) With smog alerts! I did well through the morning exercises. Still had a bit of trouble shifting smoothly, kept going from 1st to neutral They let me take the bike out at lunch break to practice my shifting....I did really well! Now that I had better confidence, I knew I could take on the afternoon! but that damn heat!!! It was hard to take....so hard that I started getting sick I started getting dizzy, my vision seemed blurry to me, my heart was racing and I felt faint. I made the mistake of trying to keep going for too long. I reached a point that I just had to get off the bike and do something about it. I went to my cooler and poured a bottle of water on my head, then I drank a bottle. On my way back to my bike I couldn't make it....sat down in the closest spot of shade I could find. I was so pissed off!! I thought I've come all this way and now I can't continue!!! DAMN!!!!
I talked to the instructors about my condition and we decided that I would sit in my car until everyone was done their tests. I did so, with my air conditioner running full and drinking more fluids.
After everyone was done, I suited up and had the whole class watching me! All of them done, bikes away and gear off! Geesh! no pressure there!!
The first part of the test was a section I had a hard time with during practice, but I aced it for the test! in fact I did awesome for my whole test. After I completed the final test...my whole group cheered for me!!!!! what an awesome feeling!!! they knew and I knew that I had just friggin kicked ass!!!!!!!!!!
Thats right! my BOOBS ARE bouncing and I can ride a friggin bike!!!!!!!!!!!!
