Sunday's H2O Overdrive Triple Crown All Mountain Series finished off with the Super D Time Trial. The 2.1-mile course with 500 feet of decending would be a sub 10-minute effort at threshold.

Plaxton was in the pressure cooker as he was in a must win situation after his fifth in the short track race just 20 minutes earlier. The Mountie was obviously banged up, running a shredded pair of bibs that displayed some serious road rash.

Riders were let off in 20 second increments based on current standings on the weekend.

Plaxton went off first with teammate Taberlay hot on his heels. Todd Wells (Specialized), Geoff Kabush (Maxxis - Rocky Mountain), Sam Schultz and JHK (Subaru / Gary Fisher), Jeremiah Bishop (Cannondale), Adam Morka (Trek) and others were soon to follow.

Then as if the drama wasn't enough, Plaxton went down loosing the front end of his bike in a left-hand corner heading towards the finish.

But Plaxton wasn't to be denied this weekend and took the Super D win, over Kabush, Trek regional rider Dana Weber, JHK and Taberlay.

The Super D win cemented Plaxton as the opening men's champion of the Triple Crown at the Bonelli Park, with his teammate coming in for second.

The top five overall would end up with Kabush taking third, Todd Wells taking fourth and Sam Schultz in fifth.

In the women's race, Okole Stuff.com's Pua Sawicki took a big win in the Super D over rivals Kelli Emmet (Giant), Lene Byberg (Specialized), Rock N Road's Allison Mann and Tokyo Joe's Chloe Forsman.
