In preparation for my next big race, Route de France Internationale
Feminine, I did a few local races in Belgium this past week.
Last year I was in Belgium with Team MTN Qhubeka and we
raced a lot of these races. It is
nice to see my improvements technically, tactically and physically since then. Looking at my SRM files after this race I had
some new all-time best power efforts attacking and/or trying to stay away in a
break which is always a good confidence booster. In the end it was two of my teammates that
ended up in the race winning break finishing 1st and 3rd. Another great day in the office! I am looking forward going into this next big
race well prepared and in great form.
Apart from being great for racing, learning and training
these races are also great for creating photo album memories J Several great photographers show up at every
race taking pictures along the route. Here
are a few of these pictures taken by Krist Vanmelle at the last race in
Haaltert, Belgium:

that starts on Saturday.
