"I like Havasu and this is like
a second home for me," Diet-
rich said. "I love the sand, and
the outdoors are coming up in
a couple months, so we put this
race on the map months ago. It's
a great training race; we got an
opportunity to come out and let
everyone know what I'm doing
and get in some good laps rac-
ing. I enjoyed it, and I enjoy com-
ing out to the WORCS races and
seeing old family and friends. I've

finish to keep him in the points

riding right behind him - crashed
on a backside of a jump, so I
came to a stop behind him, and
just as I came to a stop and before
I could even gather my thoughts,
a guy came from behind me, it
wasn't his fault at all, he couldn't
see me, but he came in right
through the back of my leg. I'm
really lucky I didn't break anything
it's just been really swollen and
weak. My legs got really weak to-
day and this is like the last place
you want your legs to get weak.
I then started overcompensating
with my upper body, and it just
