I absolutely LOVE racing at Plattekille! It's steep and motivating, and keeps you on your toes and in the moment. Seeding was a bit of a muddy, rainy experience in which I just had to make myself keep going. I did love using my new SPY goggles with the roll offs though. In finals I was on an awesome race run, and then ended up crashing three times at the bottom. Bit of a major race craft mistake as I needed to take an arm pump rest slightly earlier up on the course, and I completely forgot about that resulting in failure to hold on to the bike and me on the ground a few times. Otherwise, it was a personal win as I was riding the bike again and starting to get back in the groove of racing and feeling good on my bike.
Fun times hopping over the roots in the section before this shot.
This section was a little funky at first, but got better over the course of the weekend.
One of several steep sections in the mud.
Kind of a fun section that took some effort on the steep after it to keep it going in the right direction.
Race day when the sun came out.
