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.)
