Vigo, Day 1

First day of World Cup practice has come and gone and it was MINT. I was loving the track! Big jumps everywhere and it is so fast! I had a good first day crash as well, but managed to walk away from it. I came into a section totally commited to my line. Got over the drop onto and then over the road fine, but on landing hit a huge imbedded rock which sent me on my front wheel for about 15 feet before eventually tagging a tree with my right hand and shoulder. It sent me over the bars straight past Duncan Riffles face who was peeled back against a tree trying to make enough room for me to get through. The crash was a good one, and it gave me enough adrenaline to jump back on my bike, charge down the rest of the track and be one of the first ladies to jump the big double at the bottom!
Lee has been ace so far. Fixing all my little issues like a champ! It is so nice to be able to take a break between runs and have someone else work on the bike! Thank Lee.
Qualifying tomorrow and then racing Sunday.
Hoping for some sun... and a good result.

And a big get well soon to Racheal Atherton who seems to have just broken her wrist today in practice. She crashed in the same section I did. Get well soon buddy
