Today has been full on back into work after the weekend of racing in Napier and a quick goodbye to the camper-van which has been home for the last two weekends, pretty mint way to travel! We even thought we were part of the wings club waving out to all the 'older' members along the way.. they loved it!!
here is the run down of the racing below
Katie's Race - 3rd place
Two 3rd places for me on Sunday, taking 3rd in the 5 lap race and 3rd again in the NZMTB XC cup. I am pleased with this it is a massive come back from last weekend where I was unable to complete the race. Although the time off forced upon me by illness was not ideal and has set me back on where I was, I have another 2 weeks ahead of me leading into the Oceania championships my peak event for the domestic season it is definitely not too late to gain form and lift my game and I have a training plan in place to do so.
Carl's Race - 3rd place
The start of this race was a good one for the first 3 laps Dirk, Mikey and Myself exchanged the lead attacking each other until Dirk got the break we were looking for. After Dirk had a small gap it was me and Mikey battling trying to close the gap, in the end we finished 30seconds from each other with Dirk winning the final race and the series with Mikey 2nd and 3rd in the series, and myself 3rd today but 2nd in the series. It was one of the closest races we have had in NZ and was good fun bummer I was on the end of the 3 way battle.
12 days till oceania's and there is some shaking and baking to do before we get there.
