One of the best races I've ever ridden. (National Cyclocross Trophy Rd 2)
Yesterdays race was one of the best i’ve ever ridden. Rain the night before had made it a proper cyclo cross course with lots of slippy bends. I had a good start and was joined in the early stages of the race by Beth Crumpton. We worked well together for the 1st 2 laps and had a gap on 3rd position but I found myself breaking away from her so rode the rest of the race by myself. With 2 laps to go, Carter was closing in on me and brought a 20 second gap down to 5 seconds. I knew I couldn’t afford to make any mistakes and every second that I could gain on the technical sections was vital. I knew Carter was stronger than I was but somehow I buried myself and held on to my lead to claim the win by just 5 seconds!
