Cory takes Unification National Championship Race

Race: Kenda Cup Unification XC National Championship
Where: Bonelli Park
Place: 1st : Cat 1 (19-24 age group)
Rider: Cory

Well I decided to head out and get some intesity in today, so I set out to hit up the Kenda Cup Unification XC Championships at Bonelli Park. This was my first MTN Bike race in over a year, and I was really looking to just have some fun, but fun turned into serious once the flag was dropped. The pro's took off 2 minutes infront of our group, the Cat 1's. I was in the 19-24 years old group, but all the age groups for Cat 1 took off together. So the race started and I was off, after the first turn it went straight into the climb, and from the bottom the group went hard, but I felt it was easy, and decided to go my own pace, needless to say I looked back and was all alone by the first 3 or so minutes up the climb, and from then on I rode my own race. The race was a really fun course, with short steep punchy climbs, rollers and fast single track. The heat was horrible, but I hydrated well, and had good support, so that was not an issue for myself. Well by the end of the race, I had caught majority of the pro field, and put 10 minutes into second place, not bad for a kid who rides the road. Overall I had won the Cat 1's 19-24 and had the 3rd fastest time of the day, and was pulling pro lap times. This was a very fun time, and highly recommend for mixing up the two wheeled fun, in the off season.

My Best
