The start line. The most terrifying place for an athlete and that's where I was in Beernam, Belgium at midday on Sunday the 24th of November 2013. Boom! The gun went I was right in the of mash, suddenly I had to dismount and run as fast as I could up this really steep hill I remounted and after that I knew that I wasn't going to win but I had to keep believing. As I was coming towards the end of the first lap I had to do a sprint, the second lap it was also the last there was actually a bit of tarmac where I could really get some pace up then I had to run through a pool of sand after that it was just a steep bank and a corner and then the finishing straight where the commentator shouted out "Joseph L of Great Britain", then won a trophy which really sewed it up me. (I'm not going to mention the result).
