The Butterfly Saga Episode 10, Thredbo Nationals - Video

Scrubs are the aim of the game when racing. The less time and height in the air leads to a faster time and more opportunity to pedal to the finish. On Sunday morning, riders had a short window of practice - with the chairlift opening at 8:30 and closing at 9 for the track to be cleared by 9:30, riders only had limited time to get in practice. Unfortunately, Pat was only able to do one run, nevertheless, it ended up paying off. He wasn't too tired after seeding and took the win by a whopping 8.08 seconds.

Looking forward to Toowoomba in March, Pat plans to train to the best of his abilities as it.s a physically demanding, pedally course.
