Got to St Albans early arvo and set up tent at Steves camp spot. Nice to get there early and relax a bit; brought some pasta and banana bred so fully prepped. Got to start line just in time for the first wave, quick piss then all set. The road leg was a nice warm up before one of many steep hills. All up I had a solid ride apart from almost falling off the floating bridge and almost dying up the next hills. Got in at 5.05 so fully stoked and looking forward to next race.

It was my first race so started training in August putting lots of hours in; I was hoping to get 3 hours so really stoked coming in at 2.53. I didn't know what to expect so was a bit apprehensive. but really enjoyed the race. Got my wife to make me a low fat high carb banana bread (she's in the food game) for my pre race sustenance and it was gold! No stitches or nothing and felt comfortably full and charged for the race. May need to get her to sell it there next year!!!!
