biking race (Cross ) 45:25 [5] 12.12 km (3:45 / km) +104m 3:36 / km
Started as far back from the front row as one could as I wasn't seeded. First 100 m was spent snaking my way up front before the first left handed corner, then a bit of acceleration to dive into the first tight L hand turn and then a switchback...carnage with bumping and elbowing.
Wasn't able to bridge past my 14th place finish (however that was with one mechanical and my attempt to take out a tree with my head on the single track).
Overall, a so-so race - have to be more aggressive at the start as this is where you gain position. I held back somewhat and it cost me - there were few places to pass on this course and I didn't capitalize.
