I’m so chuffed to be able to share that I finally won a national series MTB race, woohoo! Having been the bridesmaid on so many occasions, my chuffed levels were super high, but it was not an easy win by any means. The race was at Hadleigh Park, the venue for the 2012 London Olympics and this was round 2 …

Stage 1. I love that pre-race anticipation on a start line and Mediterranean Epic go to town on it. Blaring music, a stunning beach backdrop, a guy on the mic getting more and more excited in undecipherable Spanish and people milling about, athletes warming up on rollers and everyone eyeballing each other.

Read about Kerry’s Lanzarote preperation here. Stage 1 was a 42km stage. I’d been warned by my friend Isla who’d raced this the previous year that riders go pretty hard on this stage and she was right… it was tough! The master’s men get set off a minute behind the women and as soon as the fastest of the masters …
Last year I had some success at early season stage racing so it made sense to incorporate it into my training for the early 2019 season too. The logic behind it has always been to get a good block of warm weather training in, with the added stimulus of race intensity and anything else like UCI points, with podiums …
