Like Kamloops, the Sunshine Coast DH course was quite flat and involved a lot of spinning the legs. In practice, I was constantly switching between my GT Fury and Force. In the end, I decided to race my DH bike so I could really push hard in the corners, even though I sacrificed some rolling resistance and pedal efficiency.
The course was fast, flowy and quite fun to ride, but difficult to race because there were no sections where you could make up a lot of time. By my race run, the course was getting a little loose because it was so dry and the holes were getting bigger. I was hesitant to push the corners a lot because they were so loose compared to practice, so I probably would have been better off racing my Force.
In the end, I got first in Sr. Men and got to stand on the water cooler (podium).
