Last weekend I took part in the GP Track Provincial Championships. There was great competition as riders came from across the country to compete with hopes of qualifying for SA Champs at the end of the month. Most of the riders were a lot more experienced than me as this was my fifth time on the Track and my 2nd big competition; the first two being the GP provincials in November 2013 and the GP provincial Champs this year.
In the 200m sprint I came 3rd in 13:14 seconds in the quarter finals, the winner's time was 12:98 seconds.
In the sprint final I came 4th losing by a mere point of a second. In the 1500m I finished 2nd and in the 5km points race I finished 3rd.
Track cycling is great and I would like to encourage the team and all other cyclists to try it. It teaches one bunch riding, to sprint and to use tactics to win.
A big thanks for the support I received from my sponsor Valencia and thumbs to my coach Bosseau Boshoff from the Infinita Academy and RRR for the support.
Also a great thanks to Martin (Biggie) for assistance on the track and did well in the race
