7th in XC eliminator national champs

XC eliminator national champs was held in centrum of Hyvinkää, my home city, so i decided to attend just for fun and to get good training out of it. XC eliminator was whole new concept for me and i really didn't know what to expect. Seedings went pretty well and i qualified 6th on just over 1min long track. On main event we had to do two laps on that track and 4 riders started at the same time, two of them got qualified and two of them not. On first start i crashed on concrete when i was leading the group but still -thank god- i managed to qualify for the next start. On the way to B-finals i won one start, and on last one before B-finals  had to do 4 starts in total and i can tell you the last one (B final) was really bad, i had no power left and i had to settle for 3rd place on that start which ment 7th in overal.
Still good fun. OK not maybe that fun but still good training.
