First entered Dirtworks 100 in 2008. started to cramp up before 28klm water stop pushed on in pain made the cutoff time at the bridge ( road the bridge first try) then halfway up the hill to the last water stop (78klm) had to pull out the saftey bikes had allready left.

Entered again in 2009. only to go thru the front window of a BMW of all cars ($4,ooo damage to BMW lots off soft tisue damage to me ) While out on a training ride 2 weeks before the race. not enough time to recover, mate thinks I am jinxed.

Entered again in 2010, not giveing up. Then 3 weeks before race my appendix burst ( 1 week in hospital) mate thinks ill do anything to avoid race.Travelled down to event to support mate, had to take bike hadn't riden for 4 weeks. Went for a ride around town saturday aftrenoon after we set up the tent to see how i feel, pain not to bad. Mate decided to down grade to the 50Klm as he hadn't done much training so i decided to try out for the 50klm as well had to try and change my bad luck. Finaly completed a marathon now come on 2011
