Lysterfield turned on a great day & fabulous track, no dust & no mud, the 10kms course took in some singletrack through the bushland there as well as sections of the Comm Games track. There was a fair amount of open two-track & gravel road used to join the various singletrack. There was a good turn out & what seemed to be a fair amount of new guys to MTB racing.
For this enduro series Paul & I signed up in Men pairs, in the ‘just good friends’ category. It was a 5hour event & the plan was to get in 10 laps. Paul rode out from the gun & we alternated every lap. It was a pretty uneventful race for the both of us, we punched out our laps in the general casual intensity they we bring to these events, but in the end only brought home 9 laps, I just got 4 in which I was real dark on. But I knew that zero preparation & no training (I shouldn’t regard commuting as training) is what affected my result from what I wanted to achieve & what I actually achieved. Sure this can lead to all sort of soul searching &personal reflection, but it’s usually best to let things settle before making any radical plans for change.
The next one is in 3 weeks – June 1st – so I have this window to make a concerted effort & try to make some valuable improvement.
