NMBS SuperD

Did the first stage of this weekend’s Nova NMBS race here in Phoenix today, which was the SuperD. It was a really long course (winning time just under 16 min) and not a lot of elevation loss, i.e. a lot of pedaling. It actually felt more like a Short Track race intensity wise. I came in 22^nd out of a 70 plus field. I’m pretty happy with that, as I was within a good minute of the leader and, given the length, that was really good. It also gives me some hope for tomorrow’s Short Track event; the goal is to stay in the race and not get pulled and, with today’s time, this could just be possible. Then again, I will have to start from ways back and might get stuck in traffic. We will see tomorrow.
