Dirtworks Classic 2011
Status:
Finished
Time:

Position (Overall):
141
Race Category:
100km Male Masters
Position (Category):
37 After the absolutely cr@ppy weather all week and the wear and tear from Easter Monday I was not sure I was looking forward to the race. Set off in the first wave and sure some of the puddles on GNR threatened to swallow you, drivetrain gremlins were constant, a bad hamstring cramp near the GNR summit, and a close call from a lack of concentration on a loose descent.....but after exiting Shepherds Gully and feeling the sun shining brightly it was a bloody good day out. Though I didn't quite manage to make my target time, still got to be pleased with the result.

Good effort. I wondered where you got to at the feed station. My brothers taught me two important things about mountain bike races, the first is that you must drink beer before the race and the second is how to get through transition in under 60 seconds.
Well done, Dave, nice time to boot even if you didn't hit your target! I bailed and sold my ticket after having doing nothing (absolutely nothing) since The Mont due to being OS on business and not getting to the gym as much as I convinced myself I would. With all the rain over the last few weeks I thought it was a good call but all these excellent times and positive blogs leaves me somewhat regretting my decision. Oh well, onwards to The Husky and there is always next year.
