Provincial cup series #4

Provincial #4, Cascades.

It’s been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to update my blog. There has been so much going on; national, world cup, school and now I’m stuck at home with a sore knee.
So to start off where I left off, the provincial here at Cascades on the 29th of March. I was testing out a bike (maverick full suspension) which Johann had let me borrow so to see how it was going to help with my back. I’ve also been doing core muscle exercises to help with my back which I’m starting to see is actually working really well. I found that the Maverick was heavier than my Kona which meant that I had to work just that much harder. I liked the way the full suspension handles going through the single track and it is more comfortable when one is riding on a bumpy track.
The actual race was lots of fun, weather good and the general vibe was typical. During the race my back did get a little bit sore but not agony sore which meant that there was progress in the healing process of trying to fix this issue. Some people were complaining about their backs as well because there was lots of steep climbing involved. Was chuffed that I got a 2nd placing even though I was not on my Kona racing bike.
