Hurt Fest - Day 2
The Road race over and done with at Broadford, we were now off to Bendigo for the 6 hr Enduro. Last year I was on fire and completed 11 laps. This year I already felt fatigued before I even got on the bike, however was keen to back up for the sake of some solid 24hr training. Ouch- a rama style. Even our practice lap on Saturday afternoon was a little more hurty than normal and I was just not keeping up as normal...let alone pushing and leading the group. Oh this was going to be a long day tomorrow. More to the point, Peta Mullens who was at the road race yesterday, was going to to be pushing me harder than I was interested in. But thats racing. As I stated - Hurt Fest Day 2!
We had a delightful time camping and going out to dinner so I was really stoked to have such as awesome company. We had 27 people for dinner and a camp full of people back at the race course.
This was without a doubt one of my toughest races since Kona 24 hr last year in December. A great learning curve, well done to Peta and well done to the rest of the RDS crew. thanks Norm for pushing me along and allowing me to secure 2nd place.
