Nelsons Creek 3 day MTB Challence 12,13 & 14 Sept
DAY1 65km
With the weather wet windy and muddy, i thought anybody doing this race must be very into MTB racing OR mad!! Normally these powerful 100% max heartrate first day starts can demoralise a person, with a field of top riders added... sjoe (Jaques Rossouw, Petrus Malherbe, Erik Kleinhans to name a few..) i ended amongst the to 10 and trusted the next day would be better.. normally like that.
DAY 2 85km
Hey... i had good legs!! and kept 5th position until i was directed onto the shorter route by wrongly discriptive arrows and a marshall as well!!... the cyclists behind me tried to call me back but they said i was motoring at such a pace into nowhere.... i was dissapointed and sad, the chap behind me finished 5th!
DAY 3 80km
this was a better racing day, myself and yesterdays buddy kept close to the front 4pack and i finished 5th. all in all a good race, and good preperation for the Oudtshoorn 3 day mtb race and the 180 degree Cederberg race
