Bromont - Canada Cup XCO

The start of the race (i am on the right), and you can make out Jo Wall on the Womens start line in the background

I thought i had raced in mud before, i was mistaken. I also thought that my skills in the mud weren't too bad, once again i wasn't exactly spot on. Since i last practised the Bromont course on Friday the track turned into peanut butter and it was so hard to get around. In the 5 lap race, I reckon i managed to ride every section well at least once, which meant that there were up to 4 times that i stuffed up each section! Not really good odds. So it was a bit of a battle to say the least but i am so glad that i had this chance to experience these condition before the World Cup here in 4 weeks, in fact that is the reason i am here so early. I ended up 11th, which isn't the end of the world, it's just a bit off the mark. Hopefully it will all come together soon.
