DM XCO MTB

DM XCO MTB done! It was a very muddy and fun course which envolved a lot of running both uphill and downhill. The race went allright, and despite last year we were a lot of girls on the starting linie, so everything and everybody was set up for some good/serious racing. The weather wasn't the best, with rain and oppressive heat, which made it a really hard race. I ended as number 6 which was what I had expected. On the last lap I had cramps in both of my legs, but I kept on trying to keep the "running" speed uphill despite of my legs shouting no more! I like the fact that DM also ends up as one of the toughest races in the calender.

Danish Championships done

With the Danish Road Championship done I'm now waiting for the next ones. Sunday the DM XC MTB will be held in Silkeborg. I was out training on the course last friday, it was very muddy and wet, because of all the heavy rain which had been covering Denmark for the last couple of days. I'll have to be honest, I don't think it's my kind of course, it's just to much power and no really technical single tracks. It's up and down all the time, with a minimum of pause. Not my favourite, but I'll go and have a nice time. I have to work the day before the race, so hopefully that will not affect the legs too much, I'll will let you know how it went. For the moment we are 16 girls on the start listen.

Back to the road again. The Championship went ok, not much to right about. For the TT I took 10th. place, which was not satisfying but with all the wind, I didn't have a chance. The RR I came home with the peloton, I tried to get away, but never had any luck with that, so ended as number 19.
