    You should be doggone proud! You got out there and did it, and no matter how many people competed you took second (and almost had first). To your sister I would say: bite me lazy bum!

    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

    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

    How did your race ended? Did you won some medal?
    I think your weather conditions are better than mine, we'll have 35°C at least tomorrow. I'm gonna boil

    awsome!!! You'd have a great time, our sea is beautiful and the weather forecast for the next week is great I'd like to do sailboat oneday.
    In which cities are you staying?


    ...about girls... there are 38 sign in so far (out of 322 competitors)... I have stage fright I've never even seen more that 5 "bike-girls" together
    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)

    Um... Start and finish in Split. Overnights in Makarska, Korcula, Vis and Hvar. I guess we'll see a few other places along the way too.

    Well done on your 9th place finish!
