Worlds View XCO Nationals #4
This was quite a big race for me, as it will be my first cross-country (xco) race since the change of training. As well as to see what I was doing was working and that I was going in the right direction.
A great course designed by Kim Philips which included a figure of eight, so that one (rider) passes the tech/feeding zone twice in 1 lap. Therefore making it much more spectator friendly to all supports and feeders (knowing where each athlete lies).The track was a fast course with some short uphill bursts, especially the amarok technical climb that seriously got the heart rate going. There was lots of single track I would say at least 85-90% of the track, this was awesome!
We started the race off with a short quick start loop to separate the bunch before we hit the single track, as all the women were together: Elite, U23, Junior and youth. I enter the first bit of single track 4th and managed to get into 3rd by the time we passed the first tech/feed point with Sam standers leading and Nedene Cahill lying in 2nd. It was a great race the women put up a nice fight for the top spots! I ended up 3d Pro-elite and 1st U23 women, I was truly happy with my result and I knew I was heading in the right direction with what I was doing and that the training was coming together .
I would like to say a huge thank you to all the supporters out there, it means more then you know to the rider. So thank you to all the support out on the track, it was a pleasure having you there!
