So as some of you know I planned to ride all three, and what a great last event from gorrick and ACU....what a brill course twisty roots loads of singletrack and bags of fun even the climbs were enjoyable and pretty rideable for a novice like me, first lap went well no major issues. I then pushed myself on the second lap and went into the third lap thinking it would be my usual slow bimble. Having spoken to my PT who told me to focus on my race and not be intimidated by others, she was soooo right and I finished 3 laps in 3hr 45, the legs felt good but then I saw my poor toddler who looked absolutely frozen and I decided to give the fourth lap a miss. I have to say I regret not going out again now I look back but I cut about 40 min off the last race timing so I was chuffed. All the trolls did amazing and Kathy, Jo and Lou podiumed as usual!
But I was pleasantly surprised to get third overall in the series for 4 hr female 18 - 39 and I know it was a fluke but I am really pleased as in 6 months I am riding enduros consistently which was my aim. I am realistic that I will never win things and my aim is to push myself onwards and enjoy it, The short Gorrick races are not really my thing as I cannot go fast but I am toying with trying the series this time if myself and Jay can juggle childcare. And now back to gym reality spin & CXWorx, and Combat and PT today I'm tired but pleased with how the winters gone so far :)
