Wink Re: do you MTB race?

Hi,
I go racing, I'll do anything from 25km XC races to 110km marathons.
This is only my second year racing here in Spain so I'm just trying to find my way around the different championships.
I don't have a specific training schedule, just lots of riding and a couple of spinning classes per week.
Favourite.......














...the first one I win

Been racing mountain bikes for 8 years.
This was the first year I did road races - I did two CAT 5 crits.

I have raced Collegiate NTB for three years, B & C class XC.

I have been racing NORBA and NON-NORBA Sport Class for some time. I also run 5k's, 5 milers, 10k's.

This year, in PA, DE and MD theres a 13 race series thats NON NORBA thats run extremely well. I will do 4-5 of those races. Its called the Mid-Atlantic Super Series.

I dont really "train" - I do a weird mix of running, mountain biking and road riding because I am training to do a few sprint distance triathlons this summer. Every week I try to run 10-12 , about 20 miles on the MTB and then another 25-50 miles on the road bike.

Earlier this year, I did an off-road duathlon in NJ that was comprised of 5k of running, 10 miles of MTBing and then another 5k of running. It was by far the most fun I have had doing a competive outdoor event ever. Thats my favorite race so far.
