Well, I am really nervous about this up coming MTB race. I just registered and put my money down for my spot in the race on Oct. 9th.
I am continuing to condition my self by running in the early mornings, I need to get on the bike some more, but I am not entirely sure how well a Mountain bike on the road will help with training.
I did hit the trail the race is being held at this past Tuesday and it was an eye opening. About 5 miles in I was beginning to get very tired. The trail is in itself is pretty brutal with plenty of rocks waiting for your blood and many up hill climbs that make your legs scream for mercy. The total mileage of this race course for Cat 3 is 7 miles, and while 7 miles usually isn’t a big deal, as I said above the terrain on this course is very rough and demanding. I need to ride it some more.
Right now my goal is to just finish the race, everything else is just a bonus.
