It´s been a while since the last update. I spend 3 weeks at home after Maribor. It was good to have little break in the middle of the season before heading to Canada.
Now I am in Mount Saint Anne canada for the world cup round 6.
I got here on Wednesday the day of foot inspection. The first day of practice was on thursday. I had pretty hard time to ride my bike on strait line and struggled a lot on the course.
The next day was little better for me and I was riding good till i had massive crash on the fastest section on the track. My front wheel washed out on a berm and face planted my self on the ground pretty hard. That happened on my last practice run before the semi. I didnt feel too confident going in to my semifinal. I got 23rd place on semi. I rode really conservative and was pretty tense all the time missed lines and stuff.
Today I was feeling really good in practice and riding good. After my practice I was confident that I can do good in my race if I keep it together.
Well on my race I didnt keep it together and crashed when the finnish line was on my sight. I went over the bars in the last wood section. I lost my concentration just before I entered the last 10 meter long wood section. For second I had in my mind that now I am in a good run… and then I crashed. The race isn´t over till it´s over! I ended up 34th and I am pretty bummed about that.
Next week we are heading to Bromont for WC round 7. I am looking forward to race there and get a good result.
