Three Ring Circus

Had a good day at the Three Ring Circus.
Lots of people there and made the first 10km like Parramatta Rd Morning Peak Hour.
Hard to get into a good rythm till everyone spread out a bit. I started way down in the pack so had to pass alot of people who "thought" they were fast and were up in the front groups.
Nice mix of firetrail and single track, although more single track would have been nice.
Felt fairly good and finished in a reasonable time. Did not eat anything and only had maybe 300-400ml of water, probably should of had more but i didnt feel that i needed it.
Once spread out ended up in a nice group of maybe 10 riders (maybe 20 km to go), we rode together and worked together roadie style on the fire trails with a bit of drafting. Last 5km was flat firetrail and hammered back to the finish.
i liked the format where you went through the start a few times, you coul leave drinks/food etc if you wanted too, was good for spectators too and was good to get cheers as you came through to start the next loop.
The congestion in the first 10km is the only thing i didnt like (worst out of all enduros i have done) but apart from that it was a well organised and run event.
Weather was superb, overnight rain made the course nice and tacky but not wet (barring a puddle or 2).
Good training for the Doctor.
