Colorado-Day2-Cross country 07/11/2010
Well, not much to write about, other than the fact that I feel like I did my best. It wasn’t my best race thoughL I placed 14th. I just couldn’t breathe and I had to take it easy even when I didn’t want to, my lungs didn’t work the way I wanted. I had a bad start and I tried to close up to the leaders group after which I just blew up completely. I didn’t know what was going on but my legs where dead and I had some serious trouble breathing. I had to back off and get myself under control and every time I wanted to push harder it was the same thing…pretty frustrating… At least I can say I am proud of my technical ride today. My result is not the one I was hoping for but I know I tried. I really liked the course and I felt really good on every rocky section and descents… Oh well, elevation got me this time.
Bryna had a good race and she was pretty close behind me but she had similar trouble as me. Mattie was 4th . He crashed pretty hard and had to go to medical help to clean up his leg. Tough one.
Tomorrow is the short track. I’m planning on wining my own battle, fighting the weakness J I need my confidence back because it’s hurting L
I keep my fingers crossed for Mike and Scott tomorrow at Pats Peak! Good luck!
Have fun riding,
Aleks
