Although it was a freezing cold day and windy i enjoyed the race at Henham. The course had a good mixture of fast flats, sharp climbs and technical sections through the woods. I was very happy to get 2nd place and am looking forward to the next race.
It was RRRREEEEAAALLLYYY cold out there. I managed to grab 6th place but I was literally FROZEN :( Many thanks to my fab coach Steve for putting up with the cold AND being a really really REALLY good and fun coach. YYYYAAAAYYYY.
The course isn't a favourite of mine but it was fun fast (except the headwinds!) and kept you honest in the loose. I was happy to come away with another 5th place and it keeps me on track. Looking for some more form for the next race, XC National's @Sherwood pines.
We decided to make a weekend of it and left (with the kitchen sink!) on Friday evening.
Facing the beast from the east head on was less than fun! Freezing weather and a wind chill to match mean the trip to the beach was short lived.
Nothing a warm hot choco cant fix!
