After a power-test yesterday with the national team and a restday today, is my focus now directed towards the next WC in Kalmhout. It was a super day and we had a great ride in the forest before dinner and meating. At 22:39 I headed down to take the train back to Odense because I had to go to a baptism. At 01:45 I landed in my own bed, really tired and exhausted after a long day in the name of CX.


The 1. of dec I got pre-christmas present from REDVIL www.redvil.com/. My danish championships clouthing had landed in Denmark :-) it looks really great, and I cant wait to put it on! My next race gonna be the danish post-cup race in Fredericia next saturday. The race is meant as a good trainingrace before me and my boyfriend are going to Belgium to the WC in Kalmhout, Heusden-Zolder and Azencross and after this I have 2 more races in Germany; DC Herford and Vechta.

The WC in Koksijde, which was a race I really had looked forward to ride went okay, if you only focus on the first 2 laps. I had a good start and found myself among the top 20, the legs was ok compared to that I had been sick the whole week up to the WC, but after the second lap my legs exploded and I couldn't keep the speed, so I droped down to a position around 28. In the 3rd lap I had a major superman crash where I had really hurt my "chest bone" against a fence. I ended up as nr. 31, still not a satisfied results, but the first two laps is what I'll be taking with me.

After the WC we drove directly to Nederland where next days race - the Superprestige Gieten were held. We were ca. +35 riders at the start linie. After a good start I soon found myself among the top 15, and surprisingly the legs were better then expected. Round after round I rode the course better and better, and I manage to leave the group and start chasing my first top 10. Throughout the entire last lap could I see the 8 place just riding a few seconds in front of my, but I couldn't close the cap, so I ended up as nr. 9, which was really nice.
Last but not least - a big thanks to Jørgen Dyrvig and Luc for the great pictures.
