What a great day out and an enjoyable challenge.

This was my first ever race or enduro event and pretty pleased with the result being smack bang between goal of 6:30 and ideal of 6:00. Wanted to get a good time but not thrash myself. In hindsight that 6hrs was more than achievable, just the simple things.

Heeded the advice and saved the legs for the Womerah Range but also lost track of time at the second and third feed stations whilst also trying to stop a very irritating seat post and/or pivot creak and had ~ 30 mins total stopped time. With every pedal creak everyone could hear me approaching on the trail.....had plenty of encouragement from all as well as banter with a race day comrade on an equally noisy bike and sporting pink pony tail hair extensions !

Put the foot down for the descent from Womerah and the road and felt relatively good at the finish. Might just have to have a go at some other events.....
