Corporate Challenge 2017 MTB XC Race @ Sunridge Ski Hill


Saturday May 27th, I did the technical single track course. It was two laps long and 6 km's in total. It took me 34 minutes. My Average heart rate was 169 bpm and max was 197 bpm. The total elevation gain was 1,969 feet. Check out my garmin data Here. With my training ride for 2 hours after the race to Gold Bar Park I road 22 km's today.

Our team Melcor finished fourth place. It is based on the size of your company. I tried to stick on the wheel of Paul I an elite level racer off the starting climb and I ended up blowing up after five minutes into the race. I did manage to recover a bit for lap two where I clawed back and passed four racers. I tried my best and had fun. Not going to make excuses however I had just gotten over a nasty sinus infection that lasted four weeks. On my team was Teresa M and she did the three laps non technical course and road great. She has a back ground in triathlons and is very fit. The third member on the team was Sinead O and she did the two laps non technical course and put in a solid performance. She has a back ground in running and is very fit. The temperature was 24 deg C. Thank you Kurt M and the team at Corporate Challenge for putting on the race & all the volunteers to make this happen.
