MTB race (MTBO Carnival - Race 2) 1:42:27 [3] 19.6 km (5:14 / km) +330m 4:49 / km
(injured) shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB
Riverhead.
Feeling way more tired today. Was okay until #3 where I couldn't ride most of the single track to #3 then blundered around dithering as usual on #10 and got super confused on the last control. Started to pour down with rain in the last 15 minutes which made everything slick and a bit miserable but it was better than it was for those who started later and had to ride most of their race in the rain.

Riding up to the start. Running so late it wasn't funny and everyone seemed to be stressed and/or grumpy...me included.
MTB race (MTBO Carnival - Race 1) 1:47:50 [3] 15.2 km (7:06 / km) +465m 6:09 / km

Marquita's Garden.
No time to catch my breath after the ride to the start but since I wasn't feeling like riding very hard it didn't matter. Cruised around the course taking my time so I didn't go getting lost. So nice to be riding these tracks again. All was mostly okay until the open section where I didn't see the fences, let alone the gates, marked on the map and struggled to get my bike over them. Then just died trying to ride/push across the grass. Total brain fade for the last couple of controls.

With M from Kinloch along the road to the start of the track then whizzing down to Kawakawa Bay for a delicious swim. Finished with the fun times climb over the hill back to Kinloch. Good times...until almost the end of the track where I had a slow motion crash where I caught my handlebar on a tree and landed on my wrist (couldn't I possibly have landed anywhere else?). There was most definitely a scream. Feeling surprisingly fresh today though!

Rather epic ride with M...always a good way to start the year off. Started at Bennydale and biked along the road to Pureora then along the Timber Trail to Ongarue and then back along the road to Bennydale in time for dinner...and I didn't even throw a tantrum this time (but my wrist was threatening to)!
Fantastic ride. The Timber Trail is amazing...quite possibly the best adventury mtbing I've done. The riding was so much fun, not too technical and so flowy. The forest is amazing (the bird life was epically loud through the first section). Definitely a ride I want to do again.
