First Fling
A long days riding. Felt like I was a tortoise on my trance.
The conditions were perfect and I had no mechanicals.
Walked alot of hills to prevent cramps and kept eating regularly.
Just before Wingello I was sure I would quit. Then I got to transition and like some kind of robot filled my water and ate, couple of painkillers and back on the bike after a little lube from the Shimano Van.
I actually rode more of the last stage than I did in the second half of the 2nd.
I made it up broke back mountain and through all the rock garden ridge.

Back Yamma 100
Had a great day, bunged my shoulder in the first 10 mins. Kept on going and finished in around 6:30:00
Decided to head back to Sydney after a little nap.

50km 2nd Time.
Seemed to be well prepared...given a relatively last minute 2nd hand entry for the 54km ride ...three weeks out.
This ride was tough and not to be taken lightly. I pushed through the pain barrier on all but the steepest of hills (very first one!)
Making good time at the 28km feed station around the 1hr 30min...so went into Overdrive for the remaining hills and big decent.
The last 15km were dirt road and the legs were feeling the strain towards the end, while the 100krs were flying by!

The rain.......
The rain on the weekends is the worst...
Made it on Sunday morning for a few hours without getting soaked.
The trails are wet so will hit the trainer for 20mins.
