BDS Round 3 Innerliethen

Innerliethen was the chosen venue for BDS number 3 of 2013 so back up to Scotland we headed to get our race on! The weather was incredible all weekend, the sun was out, it was hot, the track was dusty and the pits and track-side were busy with hundreds of spectators all trying to catch a glimpse of their favorite riders.

Haunted house...?

 Just to change the subject briefly, here's a picture of the house we stayed in, not to be a complete girl but every time I look at this picture  I'm expecting to see a face at the window! It was probably just me but staying up on 3rd floor of this place in the attic gave me the chills a bit!

Coming into the weekend I was feeling really good for the weekend of racing ahead and couldn't wait to get on the track, it was tight, twisty, fast and pretty steep so you couldn't take your eye off the ball for even a second or you'd find yourself catapulting at mach 10 into a tree or similar obstacle.

Coming towards the end of seeding

Unfortunately in my race run I suffered a rear flat in the first minute of the 3 minute track so that destroyed any chances I had of making a podium! Still, it was an amazing track and a great weekend, I still managed to go away with a top 10 (10th) and had a good watch of the elites as they hurtled down over the final ski jump and down into the finish area, those boys were on it!
