My Laps

2 - 1:06:10 (Team Lap 15)
3 - 1:06:23 (Team Lap 16)
4 - 1:08:30 (Team Lap 22) - Cruzing around with Lozza

How relaxed is a team of 6 on a course this long I was half a sleep in weekend mode when my turn came around to do a lap it was sometime around 5.00pm I think. It took me a good 15 minutes to wake up and I didn’t really feel on the ball until half way around the lap but I started to feel comfortable and was having fun and pretty much blasting along the trail for the last 5 or 6kms on the run home in to transition and that was it for hours and hours.

I now had plenty of time to wander around the various camps and have a talk and look at all that was going on.

It felt strange actually being able too have a sleep and have a good long sleep at that before the early morning wake up I think it was about 2.45am and I was out for a double lap and am very happy with my two consistent back to back laps.

I caught Junkie napping at camp well not literally he blamed me for being too fast and that was it for a couple more hours.

Almost piked on the last lap as I was just feeling way too relaxed and casual but I am glad I headed out as I rode 2/3rds of the lap with Lozza at a nice comfy pace. With about 7km to go he told me to bugger off as I was just slowing him down too much so having plenty in reserve I headed off through the trees and had a blast on the last sections with plenty of go left in the tank.

The track was fantastic no need to say more.

It was great to see everyone on the podium well done guys and gals some well deserved podium’s for just about everyone it seemed.

But you all buggered off before the best bit of the personations.

Thanks Sarina for the great T shirt that landed in my lap at the prize giveaways it was toped a few minutes later by the Jetblack fluid trainer bloody awesome.

Sadly Pikey and Martine missed out on some awesome giveaways - Rockshox Forks and Martine a set of Jetblack wheels 10 minutes guys.

Keen to race in the SS mixed fours next year and give the sandbaggers in that category a real race what do you say V, Gav & John.
