fort william wc...

Friday: Friday was first day practice. I was looking forward to riding in front of homecrowd and was exited just to be practicing the course. practice went really well and I felt super fast on the course. It was great to see my dad and mum and brother there too. The weather was also very hot and the course was bone dry and dusty.

Saturday: Qaulifiying day today and it was good weather again. I had done 2 practice runs and then chilled out. I went up for my qualifiying and the crowds where huge. I felt good and was ready. My run overall was pretty descent and just mainly coasting keeping a good rythm throughout the run. I ended up overall 43rd which I was happy about. It was a good confident boost for the finals.

Finals was packed with people all over the race course and at the arena at the bottom. I was nervous but super exited. I knew i had more in me for the finals. I set of for my run and it was going very good. I pedalled hard up top and then kept good speed through the middle corners then hit a big rock with my front wheel and my hand blew of the bars and i went of track. I went about 40 ft down the grass and then crashed. I had to push all the way back up the hill to were i broke the tape. It took me about 20-25 seconds back to the track. I was so tired from pushing up and just tried my hardest at the bottom. I ended up in like 71st or something. I was super gutted but i knew i could have done very well.

Anyway i just gotta look forward to leogang. should be sweet.
