I can’t help but to wonder what Ken is going to do in the rest of the SX Series and then, the outdoors. Considering his near career ending crash one year ago at the Anaheim 2 SX race, then what he has already done in the first three rounds of this year’s SX Series is nothing short of Extraordinary! But the big question now is, can he keep it going by improving each week or is he going to start to decline? The way I see it, since Ken’s big crash a year ago, his body and mind have been in a massive recovery mode. As he was recovering he was also doing as much fitness training as possible. He kept doing this all the way up to the season opener at A1. He even did a boot camp a little while before A1, also. It could be that Ken is reaching his breaking point, which basically means, physically and mentally burning out. I realize that Ken is an outstanding and determined racer but he is human. The human mind and body can only take so much before it needs time to recovery. The more time it has spent getting burned out, the more time it will take to fully recover. I just hope Ken is smart and patient enough to realize this and back it off a little, maybe have to settle for a top 5 instead of going for the wins and getting injured again. I know it’s nearly impossible for a young athlete in Ken’s position to settle for less when he really wants to win but... Settle this year so you can win next year!
That’s my opinion, what’s yours?
