MTBO (relay substitute) 52:00 [3] 14.83 km (17.1 kph) +213m
shoes: Sidi MTB

surprisingly (?!?) didn't make the cut for the relay team, so got to go out in the open competition. After getting over the embarrassment of getting knocked off in the mass start and having to pass 12 year olds and old men with PANNIERS I settled down after the first couple of controls to ride an OK race. Not brilliant, but reassuring. Its wonderful what no pressure can do.

MTBO race 2:14:00 [5] 32.1 km (14.4 kph) +682m
shoes: Sidi MTB

Well. I would never have gone out if I knew I was going to do this badly one of the worst days of my life I think, certainly the worst race I've done. 35 min errors in the 2 big mistakes, let alone the little ones. Got my nerve back by the end, thanks to Ingrid Stengard's brakes.

Disastrous

MTB 45:00 [3] ** 10.0 km (13.3 kph)

Warm up and warm down - ride to the start, short ride on adjacent model map & ride home from the finish. Rode home with Michaela Gigon so it wasn't really warm down pace.

Event: MTBO WOC 2008

MTB warm up/down 20:00 [3] 6.0 km (18.0 kph)
shoes: Sidi MTB

Up & down the road before the Sprint. Had some nice polish men ask if was lost or something... No warm down, I was in "separation zone".

MTBO race (Sprint) 27:12 [5]
shoes: Sidi MTB

Oh I started so well. Caught 1 minute on the russian in front by number 6. Lost time on that control, fooled by a fence, but many people were caught out here. Then tried to out fox and out ride the russian to 8 and proceeded to lose mega (>2min) time. Lost more time on 10, saw a nearby control, but not mine & just stood there staring at the map unable to see where I'd gone wrong, the control was behind me all the time! Lost more time going to 13, but it was all over for me by then anyway. Had a good run into the finish. In the end 33rd place, oh what could have been!

MTB 1:15:00 [3] **** 15.0 km (12.0 kph)
shoes: Sidi MTB

A ride around the model map, trying not to get too tired before this afternoon. Got quite lost, let others comments from yesterday affect my judgement - should never do that & should learn to trust the map a bit better. (The map was rather dodgy but my skills were worse).
