The first "race" of the season

60 km MTB race with tons of climbing...

It was very close to Vanessas hometown so i really needed to make a good impression ;)
I cleaned the dust from my MTB bike that still had some leftovers of The Trans Portugal back in May and went for it.
The course was awesome and Super tough, i felt quite dizzy in the first kms with the always fast pace but i managed to lead the race till km 20 with another guy. at that time a misplaced signal sent the top 20 or so atheletes out of course and probably (me and the other guy) almost 10km where done out of the course. After returning to the spot, that had the signal already and since i really wanted to make it a hard training day i went like nothing happened. left that group and started hunting something that was basically the guy ahead, had no idea where i was classification wise. From 1:30h i really felt like flying and just one guy survived to my hunting skills by a scant 50 meteres ;)

It was a great days with a tremendous course, i was happy with legs

here is the top 30
