FIRST PLACE OVERALL BEGINNER
FIRST PLACE AGE GROUP
FIRST PLACE OVERALL AND AGE GROUP SUMMER SERIES
My time would have had me 2nd place overall in the Sport Class. I think this is my last, though it was my first, year of racing beginner for Super D. (Rim Nordic I race Open Class)
People commented I looked slow and wondered if I had something wrong, and to be honest I felt like it was maybe a 3rd place run. Eight guys raced in my class today and two of them looked fast in practice. I had an issue getting reclipped before a technical section and then jumps. I also just didn't "feel" like I was going fast.
But if you have watched any kind of two wheeled racing, you have probably said yourself, "Wow, they are soo smooth. It doesn't like they are going that fast. They make it looks soo easy." I think that is what actually happened to me today. I was mentally and physically ahead of everything that happened and I made quick recoveries from my few mistakes. I was able to go fast enough that it just looked smooth, fluid and paradoxically slow.
And yes, I woke up early and made that cheesy "crown" style number plate myself.
(Now if work would just kick down some sponsorship!!)
