Dirty Harry 70km Marathon

(Mazda MTN Series-Drifter 5)

Today was a very special day for me in my cycling career. I won my first big Mountain bike race. I only started mountain biking at the beginning of this year and never thought I would be able to win a drifter in this year already although it was one of my goals in mountain biking.

Competing in Europe during the winter improved my fitness a lot. And I feel more confident on my bike.

I enjoyed the course. It started with a long clime which gave me the opportunity to open up a gap big enough to stay away from the rest of the chasing field.
