Today was race day for the IXS European cup at Innerleithen. Today's weather was not that nice. It was spitting rain and cloudy so wasn't that pleasant. However, the track stayed the same with it being bone dry and only slick and greasy in a few places. After seeding 1st yesterday I was the last rider off so I rode the track when it was probably at it's most beat up. It wasn't too bad but the track had definiteley roughened up from when the first racers went down till I set off. My run was pretty good everywhere and I pushed it as hard as I could. I didn't make any mistakes however I was a bit cautious on one little section on the middle part of the course due to me thinking the roots were slippy. I crossed the line and finished in 2nd place. I was just a second off first place which was taken by Ben Cathro. Matt Simmonds was in 3rd and 4th was Nick Beer. I was really happy with this result. Winterberg las weekend and this weekend were 2 really good results for me! I look forward to Fort William World Cup next weekend and I hope to do well there.
