European Championships Middle Distance race.
Posted: 21/09/11
Although forecast the torrential rain in the morning of the European Championships middle distance race turned roads to rivers, and sandy tracks to a soupy quagmire, grinding brakes and gears, covering the map with muck.
The terrain was sand dune forest with little climb and even with the conditions the racing was fast and furious.
The inexperienced team coped well with the conditions but found that even small mistakes were costly in such fast terrain. In the Men's race Mark was 47th, Iain 58th and Andy 60th. Ruth scored her first world cup points with a 30th position.
