MTN national MTB cup # 1 (jonkershoek)

On thursday in the early hours of the morning the enthusiastic life in motion team left Hilton,we had a funfilled trip. On Friday we set off to the track, we went to register, whilst we were registering it started rain hard for a brief period of time. Now we had to re-think our lines. So time to go out onto the track and see what the track was like. I took a tumble going into a corner too fast in the mud. Saturday was race day. I was feeling a bit nervious because this is my first year in Junior. I started well and was lying about 4th and on lap 3 my lower back started to get painful. I pushed on and managed to finish in 5th place. My team mates, James Reid and Sbo Ntombella, had a very good rides and finished in 2nd place 12th place.
