Fox Enduro Race Lousa

Nädalavahetus enduro rattal Serra de Lousas, mis on imeline rattasõiduks.
Laupäeval käisin rada vaatamas, enduro algas mäeotsast. Eelmiste aastatega võrreldes oli päris palju radu muudetud, algasid PECid samadest kohtadest, kuid viisid alla mujalt. Raskeimad tundusid teine, kus alguses oli palju väntamist ja siis viis pikka väga järsku sektsiooni ja lõppes jälle väntamisega, ja kõige raskem viies, kus rada vaadates tegin juba päris mitu pausi, kuna nii väsitav oli.
Pühapäeval taas mäeotsas, korraldajad olid natuke aegadega puusse pannud, naiste kategooria oli pandud viimaseks ja ees olid numbrid, kes polnud kohale tulnud, naistest olid hoopis üksi, tähendab, et ma ootasin mäeotsas 10min peale eelmine sõitja minekut, ehk kohe algusest peale sain aru, et tuleb üksik sõit. No vähemalt ei olnud tolmu enam õhus ja sain oma sõitu teha :D :D
Kuigi olin naistest üksi, siis andsin endast parima, et teha head sõitu siis üldarvestuses. PECides, kus olid pikad sektsioonid järske või pikalt väikseid astmeid, hakkasid jalad nii valutama, nii oli soov natuke vändata, kuna see oleks kergem olnud :D Loomulikult olid käed ka läbi ja nii mõnigi kord oli peaaegu matse lahtisõidetud pehmetes kurvides, kuid suutsin ikka ära kontrollida. Neljandas PECis panin ühes lahtises kurvis matsu ka, kusjuures eelmine aasta samas kohas, selline kurv, mis läheb meelest, kiire alla ja kurv tuleb ootamatult ja kurvivall pehme. Raja vaatamisel ei ole kiirus nii suur ja siis ei ole ka nii ootamatu ..
Viies PEC oli raske, mina kui viimane sõitja alla sain endale raja, mis oli päris lahtiseks sõidetud, nii mõneski kohas olid ootamatud kivihunnikud, kuid sain kõigega hakkama ja õnnelikult finishis.
Kokkuvõttega kohaga olin rahul, ikkagi esimeses pooles, 42.koht 103 sõitja seas ;)
Nüüd kogu keha kange ja selline zombi olla :D aga samas on väljas kaunis suveilm :)






Weekend on an enduro bike in Serra de Lousa, which is perfect for biking.
On Saturday I went to see the course, the enduro starts on top of the mountain. Compared to last years the tracks differed quite a lot, the PECs started from the same places, but went down on different trails. The hardest seemed the second, where a lot of pedalling at the beginning, steep part in the middle and pedalling again by the end, and the hardest of all the fifth PEC, where in the course check I made couple of pauses just to rest a bit.
On Sunday back up the mountain, the organizers had made an error with the times, the women category was the last one, but in front of me where numbers who were not there, 10 minutes of empty space, and as I was the only women, so I realized that I will have a lonely race. At least I did not have any dust hanging around the air anymore and I could do my ride :D :D
Although I was the only woman, I gave my best, do make a good race and have a nice place at the general results. PECs that had long steep sections or continuous little drops my legs burnt and I had the wish to pedal as it would have been easier :D Of course my hand were getting hard work too and there were quite a lot of almost crashes in the loose ground corners, but I managed to hold on. In the fourth PEC I got my side dirty in one loose turn, actually I crashed there last year too, its that kind of turn which comes so unexpected after speed section and the corner wall is soft ground. Checking the course is slower and the corner doesnt come so unexpecte..
Fifth PEC was hard, me as the last rider down I got the track where the ground was very loose and there were piles of rocks that had fallen to the course by riding, but I managed to deal with everything and happily in finish.
I am happy with the general place, in the first half of the riders, 42nd place in 103 riders ;)
Now all body is stiff and I feel like a zombi :D but its nice summer weather outside :)
