Enduro 50km


Enduro 50km XC Race
2.28min 2min down on winner Carl Jones

After watching the All Blacks lose it was mentally hard to forget about that and prepare for my race. This race i did was the last race of the enduro series, I chose to do the shorter 50km instead of the 100km. All the way through the first 40km i was feeling great holding Carls wheel after we broke away in the first 5km. But it was at the highest point of the race where i run out of front brake pad and therefore didn't have the braking power required to stay with Carl. It became a bit of a mental race because i thought i lost more time than i did and the next gravel road uphill i got into a rythm and turned a corner and saw Carl and the lead moto up head. This lifted me but then i remember i have no front brake.
