After spending alomost a week in Houffalize, Belgium I felt ready for my last race before heading back home again. Due my crash with a car in Offenburg last week I couldn`t spend so much time on the course as I wanted, My ribs was hurting more during mtb training than road training, so I stuck to the road. I was still optimistic for the weekend.

With plate number 4 and the best full suspension bike in the woman`s field I had no excuses for my bad start of the race. It was my body. I just couldn`t go fast from the start. My head wanted to but my legs were saying no. After my poor start (around 40th) I had no other options but to find my right pace and go from there, It`s hard for the mind after all my good results lately, but I was able to stay positive and kept on pushing myself . I finished in 12th position, which is not too bad but still not a optimum race for me.

After Four weeks on the road, I am now back home on my favourite sofa! Right now I`m stuck there with my legs up☺

I can look back on four exiting weeks with my team, lots of travelling and good memories from diffrent parts of the world. I`m a lucky girl to have this job, I enjoy it so much and moutainbiking is such a beautiful sport!!
