Sara took some precompetition races on the past weeks to get the heartrate up. Peter didn't compeet yet but he was like always present and coaching from the side line.
The first participation at the cross duathlon in Hofstade (3K run - 19K MTB - 3K run) was a succes!
Sara is not the best runnner, although it wasn't bad she ended her running lap in 8 position. The MTB part was much more fun. A fast turning course with lots of single trails.
After 3 laps Sara started running in 3th position but like we could expect the last running lap was hard. The legs were burning like hell.
In the last KM she was overtaken by an other woman. It was inpossible to stay on her heels, Sara's legs were dead!
Result 5th overall and 4th in here age group. A few days after the race Jean-Francois was switched from women catergorie to Men40! So even better result, 4th overall and 3rd in age group.
6 days later the next prerace race was planned. Cyclocross on international level. For the 3rd year in a row Sara was at the start line in our backyard. We had been training on the course, which was super dry, fast and techical.
Last year Sara was taking out off the race after 3 laps. This year the goal was the same one as last year, trying to finish the race. Allthough she didn't reach the goal, we are pretty happy with the race.
Cyclocross is super fun, but also super fast and physicly Sara is not ready yet to perform on this level.
