Home from Canada and enjoying the rest of the weekend.  I had the best time at Mont Tres Blant ; perfect venue, perfect course, outstanding big crowd of spectactors and I felt stronger than ever... We stayed in the middle of everything at the fancy Hilton in the beautiful Tremblant village. It was great to watch the morning races from our hotel window with our feet up to until warm up time.   I was on fire the whole weekend and I guess too confident. I started the race from the back and I wanted to do everything I could to get to the single track as close as possible to the leader Catherine Vipond.  I got a little crazy and took a risk at the place I probably I shouldn't of try to pass, instead of taking the way around I took the risky line off of a steep drop and unluckily hit the other rock which made me flip over my handlebars.  I hit it hard and I wanted so bad to get up and continue my chase but my knee didn't want to listen so I ended up with the frustration and fighting the pain. Well, that's the racing and we have to pay for our mistakes. I hope I can recover quickly and start to train again. All I can say , I love Canada and can't wait for next week Baie Ste Paul Quebec.
   Mike had  a good solid race , finishing 24th out of 80+starters. He raced against a tough field and he also started from the back pack so it was great to see him passing people and making his way up.  I'm always so proud of him:)
    Have a great week and make sure you ride your bike.
