Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: It was close stuff but I managed to drag a win out of it in the end . I sat out the second race on Saturday to try and recuperate for the Sunday races . On Sunday I felt better and by the time the Scottish Championship race came round I was raring to go . I made a rubbish start and battled for the first few laps with Bruce Burnie and Michael Robertson again , but eventually I managed to puch my way to the front and pulled away to win by a couple of seconds , phew !. 
Question: Why did they sit out the Saturday race ?
Output (English): To rest and recover from their exertion .
