After a succesfull weekend at the Scottish championships winning junior and fastest time of the day I carried alot of confidence in to the next race which was the UK National Championships at Ae Forest. I arrived there late Saturday morning and got in 5 practice runs. The track was damp and a bit muddy but I liked it and was getting on with it well. Sunday was Seeding and finals. On seeding my run was fairly good and I didnt make any mistakes and was 1st place by over 10 seconds. I ended up having the 5th fastest overall time after seeding only a few seconds behind Gee Atherton who seeded 1st in Elite.
In the finals I was pretty nervous but once my run got going I was focused on getting a good run in. My run was average. I made mistakes in a few places and just didnt find the flow that I found in my seeding. The track was slightly thicker mud aswell so it was slower. I ended up winning junior by 4 seconds but going 2 seconds slower than my seeding time. Overall this put me in the top 10 overall fastest time. I was really happy with how I rode overall the whole weekend and happy to be in the top 10.
Next race is Champery WorldCup 4 this weekend. I have been chilling the first day with the CRC/Intense guys at their Chalet and It's great. Its track walk today and first day practice tomorrow.
More news later
