Ready to rock!

It’s been a while, again, but here we are….in Veszprem, HU; ready for the 2012 World Champs in MTBO

It’s this I’m training for all year, this is why no pizzas has been eaten last two months, this is why I’ve only had Nutella on Saturdays since May, this is why I don’t know what’s in TV, this is why it’s fun to train…..the race(-s) of the year.

The Goal:

Monday, 101 riders try to qualify for Saturdays Long distance Final, 60 will pass through, we are split in 3 heats, so must be in Top 20!

Top 20 is also the goal for the (hopefully) two medals races, Middle (Wednesday) & Long final (Saturday). It’s gonna be tough, but with the perfect executed race and a bit of luck, it’s realistic….Top 20!

Are we ready?

Well as mentioned on FB y-day, I’ve done 334hrs & 23min in the saddle this year, divided on 212 training sessions, for sure not the most, but too late to change that……
Sir Scott is top tuned, legs have been rested all week with a “2 training session + 3 massage session” super restitution week & hopefully they will explode in a power ride tmrw, Wed, Fri & Sat!

What count now is to keep the head straight and tackle the challenges that comes tmrw. After today’s model event I’m rather optimistic as it looks like quite tricky navigation and that’s gonna cause some of those fast guys some troubles....Let’s see!

Now it’s late & I need sleep, so no more update today….will try write more tmrw and upload pics/info on the new family member: Sir Scott……

LIVE update

If organizers keep their promise, follow live results and updates here 

Keep smiling and send some cooling thoughts my way tmrw Monday at 11.43 when I start on Long qualification….I'll be back with more tmrw...if any power left;-)
