It was great to have a solid 10 days at home

August 31, 2009

It was great to have a solid 10 days at home after Windham Pro XCT finals before making the trip down to Canberra-Australia where I currently am preparing for the World Championships. I was stoked to have a solid race in Windham finishing up the East Coast trip on a high note. It was also good mentally being the last race before Worlds.

I had never raced a full US national series before so I got to be happy with how it went for myself and the Team. A Sho Air rider never placed worse then second in any race and if it would not have been for a bad day in Mount Snow, I would have most likely taken the overall. But hey, that is racing and congrats to JHK and the Fisher team. For a 1st year team I’d say we did pretty damn well; it will only get better year to year.

Travel down to Canberra was a breeze and it didn’t hurt getting upgraded to first class and being able to fully recline in a flat bed and sleep a decent amount on a 15 hour flight. I don’t know I will be able to handle flying economy class again on a long haul flight! Or as Roland Green calls it the “peasant class”. It is quite cold down here in Canberra but the air is fresh and crisp. It reminds me of winter back home in Victoria except there are kangaroos everywhere and beer costs and arm and a leg. I mean come on…20 bucks for a 6 pack! Might have to stick to the Vino tinto on this one…..

Checking out the course later today with my roomie Kabush. I have heard good things about the track and it should be good getting it dialed before race day next Saturday.

Will send and update mid week.

Cheers from Down Under,

Max
