Rock on Sister!!!! YES!
36 seconds can seem like an age and can seem like nothing - but however it feels, it is not alot, and to finish with a 36 second time difference means that was definately a race to the end... and the end after all is what matters most.
Be proud of your medal.
:)
This saturday I have another MTB contest so I'll try to defend my silver medal ;) Eventhough, there are 25 girls already signed in so this time my goal is to be if not second, than al least at the first 10.
I'll let you know if I succeeded or not. Keep your fingers crossed :D
Good luck, iFKA.
There is an advertisement for Croatia tourism on tv ( Eurosport) and I think of you every time it's screened.
I wish more women entered mtb races! It's nice starting a race with only a handful of other people on the line instead of the big mob the blokes have to put up with, but it's so had to gauge your progress over the season when there's several minutes between you and your nearest competition either side.
Good luck iFKA! (I'm visiting Croatia for a week next month, actually. Poor bike has to stay home though - I'm doing a sailboat cruise.)
go go iFKA
I'm racing tomorrow too (its Friday night here)
Our forecast is for rain and cold southeasterlies... my 16year old and I want to go regardless of weather!
Trust you have better conditions and get looking forward to hearing about a top ten result as you want
There is advertisment about Croatia on Eurosport ?!Quote:

I don't mind if I get last, I just want to finish it. It's 33km uphill , and altitude difference is 0m (start) to 1532m (finish line)

Its 8:17 saturday morning here... about 2' outside, but the sun looks to be showing his face over the edge of the hill... so maybe the rain will not arrive.
The road race is at 2pm today... no medals... this race is part of the Winter series my club (Road, not Mtn Biking) puts on, we race for points every Saturday and there are certificates at the end of each series (series are... Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn!)
I'll probably post about it later in my racing thread...
I guess with your race, a good point about it being warm is that you want be slooshing about in the mud. Best of luck for yours and hydrate well before, during and after!
Sounds like your weather is like ours.
Keep yourself hydrated, iFKA
I finished 9th :D
I was so happy... I didn't rush cause it was so hard to be quick in those conditions, I just wanted to finish the race. And I succeeded :cool: The weather was unbearably HOT and I couldn't wait to finish so I could go swimmin' but than we didn't had the time cause we hurried to one concert back in our town. Unfortunately it started to rain and the concert was canceled.
But never mind, I finished! :D I finished! :D I finished 9th! :D And the whole time I was eating all energy bars and beans and drinks that my secret sisters sent me during this months. I kept it for special moment and it helped me a lot. :)
