Another sub top 20 position is a result but it could have been a couple more places if i hadn't made a poor refuelling decision 17th

MudSweatGears RD4 Carver 2019

Nate had a great race and is really learning how to pace himself in the U12 age cat .

Alison's day didn't start well with a small off into a tree on one of the technical off camber sections and in turn knocking any pre-race confidence. Still had a good race finished 2nd in the region.

Starting on the front row is always going to be an advantage @Carver if you can keep threshold into the woods .. I managed to keep the momentum with a couple of the faster riders being able to keep more speed than me through the tight single-track and eventually coming home in 5th.
