No suspense in this blog, I finished on the podium for the first time in the NCCX series.
Race Report: I did not get a call up and started on the second row, as we sprinted away, I settled into 5th place as we hit the first off camber part and realized first was pulling away and I was faster than the other 3, by the next 3 turns I was in second. I was pushing hard to close the gap and making progress as we started into the woods/single track, but the leader passed some back markers of the field in front us right before the woods and I didn’t so I had to wait till we came out…. back to chasing. Half way through the second lap I was carrying a lot of speed through a greasy/grass off camber ess when my bike just slide away from me and I was on the ground. I was able to jump up before anyone hit me, but never managed to close on the leader.
But I am VERY happy with my day!
Just some photos after my race.
This guy was trying to bunny hop the barrier before the run up.
Tangled up
It was perfect weather for ‘cross, I warmed up in a long sleeve shirt and wore shorts and a sweatshirt after my race.
