I had a bit of trouble keeping pressure in my rear wheel on Day 1 but I trucked on and got it patched up for the final two stages of the day. I headed into Day 2 with the ambition of taking a stage win and that I did. I was happy to finish up in P2 after a challenging two days.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">There wasn&#8217;t much time to recover with another\u00a0sweaty day&#8217;s racing on the cards in Finale Ligure, Italy the following week. It was nice to have a less hectic schedule here with a rest day between the training day and race day for a change. I was really happy to back up my P2 finish in Ainsa with another P2 here in Finale Ligure and to close the gap a little. It was a tough two weeks competing back to back but I found it so rewarding. I&#8217;m also really stoked to be #3 in the World and it gives me something to work on for next year for sure.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">It\u2019s not been an easy year for me after a slow start to the season with finishing my school exams and then just being unlucky with injury after injury, so to pull it back and end the season on a high means a lot to me.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I would like to say a huge thank you to Cycling Ireland Off-road Commission and the Womens Commission for their support this season, much\u00a0appreciated.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Report by Leah Maunsell<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo1_500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5614\" src=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo1_500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo1_500.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo1_500-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo2_500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5615\" src=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo2_500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo2_500.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo2_500-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo3_500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5616\" src=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo3_500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo3_500.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo3_500-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo4_500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5617\" src=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo4_500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo4_500.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.offroadcyclingireland.ie\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo4_500-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Enduro World Series (EWS) at A\u00ednsa, Spain was\u00a0a tough two days battling with temperatures as high as 35C!
