Thing about it too, is even riding sections or bits or maneuvers that you can do in your sleep, there in that environment combined with being carefully scrutinized and / or timed, can put your mind in a whole new space. As in most, more "professional" sports we all watch, the mental game is more important than the physical. Yes, of course we must perform, but our minds can work for us or against us... real mental discipline is shown in such events. Thank you for sharing, a mate and I are practicing for the next Challenge, as we just missed them here in the US.
Well done Marc, whatever your finishing position. You've got to be in it to win it, so you're already head and shoulders above anyone that didn't do it! No doubt you'll get your armchair critics but it's all to easy to stumble or make uncharacteristic mistakes when the stopwatch is on you.
Thanks Ken. It sure feels harder when you’ve got the pressure of a stop watch on you. 12 months to work on my weak points and I’ll be there again to do better.
Very well done mate. Big respect going for the Trophy over the Challenge event only on your second year. Having been there this year I really appreciate how well and quick you got round some of the off road stages. Great weekend. Hope to meet up and see you there next year.
Well done bro. You made that last section look easy. Some of the first ones I think the adrenaline got the better of you. Do you use their bikes on all the sections?
Thank you Nick. Really appreciate your support. I have to agree, with you about the adrenaline at the beginning. Yes. You use there bike on al the technical challenges.
