World Cup #2
Jislaaik. The pace was HOT HOT HOT! Totally different course to PMB – short power climbs with technical descents and big drops, rooted climbs and just “VOL GASS” (german for FLAT OUT!) all the time. There wasn't really anywhere to feed on the course – if you weren't climbing singletrac, you were descending. There were about 200 starters... I got a start position of 56th and planned on staying there for the first 2 laps and then attacking (don't tell Absalon my tactics... its a secret ;-) ). Um, no. Sorry, no legs today! I just went backwards the whole race – on the 3rd lap, I took a mocha gu to try and give me a bit of a kick but it did nothing!!
Burry had an awesome race finishing 1st under 23 and 5th overall – the awards ceremony was amazing with big screens and the vibe out on the course was incredible. They were expecting 20 000 spectators and there were all of that – Zuper Gut !
