For my first ever Enduro, I finished top 10 at National Championships! Made plenty of errors, crashed a LOT (and based on the photo, I ran a lot too:) Lucky there was neutral support, I rode into the pit for service after each of the first 3 stages to fix one thing or another that I managed to turn or bend or twist during above mentioned crashes. I have a few good scrapes and bruises but my body and bike are in in good shape. The best part were the people I met. Every single person on the course was SO positive and friendly. There seemed to be camaraderie, friendship and support out there from every angle. Just to hang out with such great people and ride bikes was enough to call this a top 10 day on the bike. Massive thanks to Jamis Bikes for helping me get the AMT so I could race on a proper bike! So happy to finally race in my Borah Teamwear jersey and use my First Endurance EFS! Thanks for the support from Stans NoTubes, Gaerne Shoes and Vittoria (those Gomas have GRIP!). Next time I will ride the "elevator shaft" (this photo), just don't touch the front brake, float down it!

Finish line! I made it through all 4 stages!
