No luck at Sabie

Friday morning my dad, Carlo and I loaded the car and set of with our journey to Sabie. We travelled down with 2 of the BMC Racing SA cars and Candice Neethling, Ashleigh P-M and Eszter was in the other one. We met up with the Vosloo's in Nelspruit and followed them to our lodge where we were going to stay. The house was big and had enough sleeping space for 14+ people! There was a squash court inside the house. The whole team except for Alan Hatherly was there and also lots of friends and family. At dinner that night we all had lots of laughs and discussed the planes for the next days racing.

Saturday morning came and it was time for the marathon riders to get ready and race prepped. From our team we had Candice, Ashleigh and Simone that took part in the World Cup Marathon #1 - Sabie. Candice finished the race in 5th place also coming in 2nd place at the KOM(King Of the Mountain). She is only 20 years old and said that she was very happy with her result! Ashleigh also had a great race and team mate Simone also.

On Sunday morning i woke up with a very sore and burning throat... It only meant one thing, I wasn't going to race that day for sure. I decided it be best if i rested my body for the next weekend coming up as it was a more important race. Carlo finished 6th overall and won his age group on the day. It was nice watching a bit of the racing for once instead of being the one on the track. However i still had an amazing weekend with the team and family. My team really is one big family!

Thank you all for a fun time.
