My first World Cup win is a fact, first time for both me and my Specialized ERA. A win I didn`t expect already this year, a win that comes ten years after I first got involved with moutain biking. I can`t describe how I felt crossing the finish line as the first woman, but it was very special for me!!

The days before the race I spend like normal with training, food, sleep and massage. Well did I managed to do some shopping as well in some of the few factory outlets there are in Bromont. It`s always nice to be able to do something else for a chance and make one day a little bit different then the rest. Sometimes it might just be the training that I have to do every day thats different from day to day

A new improved course was made in Bromont, a change that suited me well. I enjoyed training in the new uphill as well as the technical part of the course., and with my full suspension bike I was just floating over all the rocks and roots.

I had an okay start at the race, not in the first 5 but still not to far behind to aim the top 3 girls. After a couple of laps I was in front of the race and from there I felt like I was flying. My legs felt great and I was riding very focused, maybe my best day on my bike this year☺

Now I`m back home again where I will do my last preparation for the worlds in Australia on the 5th of September. I`ll travel on 25th of August to Australia so I`ll get the time I need to recover from a long travel and jet lag before the biggest race of the year.

Bye for now!
