Iron Maiden MTB XC Race 2015 @ Canmore Nordic Centre (Alberta Cup) #3


Saturday June 6th, I finished 42nd out of 46 in Sport Results. It took me 1 hour & 21 minutes. It was three laps and a total of 18 km's long. The total Elevation gain was 1,552 feet. My average heart rate was 176 bpm and max was 194 bpm. Check out my Garmin data Here. Today was one of my fastest starts that I have ever had, We had a long gradual climb right off the start and I was ahead of about six racers. I then lost most of those spots once we hit the first technical descent as I was not able to ride it (switch back with log drops) I struggled in the technical descent's today, I road some and the rest I dabbed my foot down for balance. This course had a combination of climbing and technical trails. My fitness felt good as I had some good strong climbing today. Normally in an XC race here it takes me one hour thirty minutes so I am really pleased with my continued improvement. The temperature was 26 deg C. I would like to thank all the volunteers and Spin Sisters for putting on the race including the great BBQ hamburgers for after the race.
