performance.
"lt
was better
than
the last few week, that's lor
sure," laRocco
said.
"l
actually had
a
horrible
staft
toing
in but
somehow I came
out decent - fifth
or sixlh.
I
stumbled around the
first few laps and lost
some
ground
early. I finally got
in a
groove
just
about halfway, I felt like
lwas ridinS
pretty
rolid. From chat
point
on,
there wasn't
a
lot going
on, but I was malching
the
pace.
which wes
somethin8 l haven't done in a while."

like I'm
getting
better
and better each weekend
and
(he

back," he

"lt's
iust
taking me time. I was running fourth for

tle bit then started ridiry tight a llftle and a bunch of gq,s got
by me.
I
8ot
ups€t with myself and loosaned up
