Last weekend I went to Fast Eddy at Hawkstone Park to try something different. Sprints on the Saturday and a 2hr enduro on the Sunday.
Saturday the sprints were split into the MX sprints and the enduro sprints. My group went out on the MX sprints first. We did 4 sprints and in each sprint lap I got quicker. It was so much fun. We had a small break then changed over to the enduro sprint through the woods. Having not done much enduro riding I wasn’t sure what to expect but again this was a lot of fun. The ground was a lot softer in the woods and quite tricky in places. I didn’t finish in the top 3 but I really enjoyed it.
Sunday was the 2hr enduro using the motocross track and the woods sections. There was about 150 riders in my race and 51 in my class. I set off strong and worked hard on each lap working my way through. At the half way mark I was 20th overall and 2nd in my class. I kept pushing but with 20 mins left I just couldn’t hold on anymore. My hands had blistered badly inside my gloves and It didn’t feel safe to carry on. I was disappointed not to have finished but I had a lot of fun over the weekend. It was good to try something I’d not done before and I learnt a lot.
