7th May 2013 - 3rd place at the British cup!
On Sunday I took part in the second round of the British trials cup at Bracken Rocks, Derbyshire. Like the days leading up to it, Sunday was Hot! After the weather we have had so far this year, I am not complaining, I'm just saying it didn't make things easy :P
Robin Morewood set out a very hard competition, big, hard moves and very long sections made it it difficult as you had to be spot on and perfect at all times, no room for any mistakes.
I made a so so start, I had a 1 on my first section, then 5'd the next 3 (these turned out to be the hardest of the day). I then had 1,2,3 and 5 on the next sections giving me a lap of 27. It should have been lower but I knew on my second where I would improve. I made a much better start on my second lap with a 0 and a 3 but then on my 3rd section, where I think I would have gotten a 1 or 2, I got a dreaded puncture at the start which gave me 5, over the next 3 sections I had the same on my first lap. My final section again should have been a 1 or 2 but I had the weirdest 5 ever, I cant explain what happened at all! This gave me a second lap of 26 which was a lot more than It should have been.
But I had my first British podium of the year and Its set me up well in the overall championship - Looking forward to the next round!
