I had a really nice hard racing weekend. On Saturday was the Western province Championship. We were 16 girls at the start, more then I had expected, nice to see more girls racing! We did a lap of 38km twice and the wind was very strong and made the race very hard. We soon became a group of 9 girls and after 17km I attacked on a hill and got Kelly and Maroesjka with me, we worked together for one lap, until we came to the same hill again. I attacked again and they could not follow, I worked hard to stay away and solo win the champs.
My legs were really tired when we left home on Sunday morning for the race at Joostenburg, about 15km away from us. It was a small race and no raceing cat for ladies so I raced with the guys. It was really good training for me and I tried to be active and followed attacks to be part of the race. It was eventually 3 guys that stayed away to the finish and I was in the small bunch that came 1,5min after the breakaway. I got 4th in the sprint and 7th in the race.
I was finished yesterday evening, it was a while ago since I raced 2 days in a row:-)
No follows a few weeks with lots of work for iRidieAfrica, I will be guiding customers around this area, will be awesome to show them this beautiful place! I just hope the weather will be on our side, the summer has struggled a bit to arrive!
