2021 Rim Nordic XC #1 | Pro Men | Full Race

This was round #1 the Rim Nordic XC Series. We're doing 4 races again this year and the mass starts are back! We're no longer doing the time trial format we did last year to maintain a tactical gap between riders. This is great because wheel-to-wheel racing is so much more fun. In this race, I had good long stints of working together with Josh and Ryan. And on the final lap, I had a line of sight to Max in P6, but couldn't quite bridge the gap. I felt great though; it was my first race this year where I was fresh. As the schedule coincidentally fell on the Sunday of a recovery week in my training program.

I won't publish race #2, as I'll be racing very tired on week 3 of the biggest training block of my life. But stay tuned on my channel for races #3 and #4. Hopefully, I can get good points and maybe I crack the elusive top5 of the Rim Nordic Pro XC Series? I have never climbed on that podium.
