After a dissapoining DNF at the Nissan half marathon series in Tulbagh i had a good weeks' training before heading to KZN for 3 weeks.

I arrived in Hilton with much excitement seeing everybody i'll be spending time with over the next few weeks. Got my new 29er Enlightenment dialled up the friday before the race and went out to ride the track. They did a really good job, ensuring us a fast and enjoyable race!

Race day came and the game faces came out to play. After a good warmup we got called out for the startline. Luckily i got ranked on the frontline which always gives one confidence. A fast start by team mate Kyle and UK rider Alex Baker made things interesting.

The race kept getting more interesting as riders took turns in crashing and finally settled in after lap 3. I kept a constant pace making some ground on 3rd placed rider, but he just got away giving me 4th place in the Junior cat.

It's time to head out to the Cascades World cup track this week to get ready for the last race of the Momentum Health series. It will definitely be a cracker!

Be sure to watch the video made of our race as well as the womens race! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV1B88zsRl4&feature=share
