It's a start...

Not a great time, but it draws a line in the sand for future improvement. A couple of short stops and walks due to line choice errors and other riders in the way walking technical sections. Happy that I managed to ride all of the track wthout feeling like my brain had gone to jelly at any time, and I negotiated Heartbreak Hill without stopping and without needing to rest at the top to "keep my head on".

Lower back was a bit sore by the end - note to self: need to strengthen that at the gym.

Satisfied with the ride - will get better.
