Suffering through my first race EVER | O-Cup # 1 Woodnewton

In this video I share my experience participating on my first race ever. Long story short, good experience but suffered through it. 100% worth it.
This is part of the MTB Cross-Country Ontario Cup that takes place every year (O-Cup). This is a longer video than usual but wanted to share the full lap in case anyone wants to see the full course.

Well done on your first race! You have provided a lot of important feedback! Way to power through! I'm doing my first race in July this year.

Thanks! Appreciate it and good luck on your first race!

Great job fighting through the race! Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

Thank you! 😊

Congrats on your first race! EDIT: Now that I have watched it, I like that course. It is more wide open than the Don Valley Trails, many of which I find so narrow.

[@WhatTheTrail]

Thanks! Yes the Don is definitely more technical and has much more exposure. Unfortunately this race was on a private property but I’m assuming the trails nearby (Durham Forest) should be similar.
