First Cross Country Race of the season... GIBA GORGE
So i wasn't able to attend the Durbanville XCO race in Cape Town unfortunately, because I am now a varsity student which actually requires me to go to lectures! Hahahahaha... University life has been super tough, so overwhelming, with very little sleep and hardly anytime to train... I'm talking about going to bed at 12o'clock at night and waking up at 3:30 am to go train! Ridiculous i know!
Anyways after not seeing any family or cycling buddies for a month, i was now getting ready to road trip down to KZN with my wonderful parents. Eventually we arrive at Pietermaritzburg and i'm so excited. Thursday morning i went down to Giba to go ride the track... Wow and was that fun... some tricky turns and some short steep climbs making those legs feel the burn. It was also so very good seeing my awesome BMC Team as well as other good friends from Team Jeep, 360 Life, @Slab and Contego.
RACE DAY: It was raining, the course was super slippery and muddy... No "Fun in the Sun" for the day. My first race as U/23 and i was nervous! After the draining 5 laps that i raced, as a Pro-Elite rider which they categorized us under, it was all over... The support was great and the atmosphere was superb. I ended up 3rd U/23 women and 9th Pro-Elite women.
This was definitely a very good experience for me and was great getting back to the racing. I would've never been able to do it without my amazing coach Johann Wykerd, my awesome Team - Team BMC, my fabulous supporters and friends and of course my wonderful parents... Annah and Philip Vosloo. =)
I will see you all very soon at the BIG and BRAVE Sabie race this weekend coming! Train hard and be POSITIVE! =)
