Just having fun..

Its finally reached March.. Thank God.. The days are getting longer and the clock are going back.. Even quite amazingly the rain is subsiding slightly.
    My own Rowing season with Kilmacabea has finally Kicked off much to my delight and I finally claimed the Junior Munster XC champion with two 1st places since my last Blog.
   Lately i have gotten back into riding Downhill ever so slightly but only with the intention to get faster on my XC bike and just having fun, surprisingly i have found that i pretty much picked up where i left off speed wise still able to put in a pretty fast run however the consistency in the runs is lacking.. iv taken to crashing... alot..

Just a video of me being followed by Elite rider Paul Lenihane while on board a borrowed KTM Aphex, 2 weeks ago:

Dunmanway Steep track crash..

a second video where we actually completed the run.. but not a good one to say the least..

Dunmanway steep track full run..



With the XC Podiums hopping.. 





Im feeling pretty enthusiastic about the up and coming XC NPS season.. that is as long as my bike starts working nearly costing me the race in Munster series r3 with a snapped chain 400m from the finish line. I look forward to seeing the standard my fellow competitors are at after a long winter of training but knowing in my own right i am as fit and strong as iv ever been running a 12.11 in m last beep test and also knowing that come National Champs i will be peaking fitness through rowing.

Now for a few shots from Downhill lately ;)
