First race in the US, Bonelli Park
March 16, 2010All exited about starting racing again I arrived safe at LAX airport last Wednesday.
Flying in to LA was like watching an American movie, this city is massive and so big.
Everthing is big in the US though: cars, burgers, coke, cinema, malls and more or less everything else as well
After my bag didn`t show up straight away I had an good excuse to go shopping the first day, I had to get some running gear! After a long flight my legs needed some blood circulation again. I`m really happy that I`m used to running so I´m in situations like this still able to do a bit of exercie insted of just waining for my luggage to show up.
Not fully recoverd from the Jet-lag It was time to start racing again, I knew I would feel tierd from the Jet-lag especially when the race started at 02.30pm whitch means in the middle of the night in Europe. The course at Bonelli Park was nice though, fast, easy and a smooth start of the season. The XC race was on the Saturday with the STX and Super D on Sunday. I`m not used to Short Tracks and Super D but when I first was in the US to race I had to do it all the American way to☺
I had fun racing my first US-Cup ever, not the best feeling but this is always the same every year in March when my legs don`t have the fire, they are just heavy without any extra power. I did finish 2nd in both XC and STX after loosing the sprint both times and in the Super D I finish 3rd, so I Its not a to bad start.
Now I`m on my flight to Denver, I`m doing a Bike-Fit at the Boulder Center of Sports Medicine tomorrow afternoon. I`m exited to meet Dr Andrew Pruitt and to see what he can do with my postion on my bike.
Bye for now
