This weekend I competed in Rotorua. It’s located in the North of the North Island. It’s the Queenstown of the north Island but more Maori culture and population. On the Rotorua homepage it is called a distinctive smell, in my words the whole city smells like millions of rotted eggs because of the geothermal heat. But apart from that which didn’t bother me anyway it’s a nice place. We (Hamish, Blair, Jeremy and what’s his name and I) stayed in a cabin located to a very nice lake.
It was a nice cabine for 5 people, we were a harmonic group and I was happy to stay with them. Thanks to Blair for organizing the accomondation…
We arrived on thursday evening, did a XC ride through the rotorua bike paradise. Which is just a paradise on a xc bike or a light freedride bike. I didn’t enjoy it that much on my downhill bike, rolling around in the flat. But it seems to be a high frequented xc bike area because the trails were hard like concrete and there are heaps of organize shuttles. On Friday we walked down the downhill track and it took us ages. When it didn’t rain the sun was burning down. So we were wet all the time.
So on Saturday were the official training day. I felt not good on my bike and didn’t find my rhythm…The shit was I kept on not finding my rhythm the whole weekend. So I don’t wanna explain to much now what happened or what not happened. I ended up last which sucks (4th place) but I can’t change it know. I am back in Wellington now and the weather was crap so I took a day of and can hopefully train tomorrow.
See you LENE
Aja yes Kai, got 5th I am so proud on him! Good work Fuff…
