Some easy days

22/6 Easy day after yesterdays race but the commute ended up a bit slow due to a 3 inch nail going through the tyre & side wall, only to find that the spare I've been lugging around for 5 months had a hole in it, so cursied home on a flat tyre 1:20hr

23 - 24/6 Well Carolyn & Riley have been sick so no play time for me. It means that Thursday night is going to be fun. Bring it on.

21/1 Rock Hop 6hr Enduro
Never raced at Upper Beaconsfield before, so was looking forward to riding a different course. Legs had pulled up a little tight in the Hammies. So went for a little warm-up to loosen them up. Heading back to the pits with 5min before race start I managed to get a branch in the rear wheel and bent my rear Derailleur hanger. With some quick forced adjustment I was at the start on time. During the race I was shown that my adjustments weren't quite right with some gear shifting issues which I had to work around. The course was not the normal enduro course with around 97% being single track with everything throw in. I stuffed up my nutrition by not putting enough Endura in my drinks, which put me behind in my eating plan, so I ended up slowing down at about 3:30hr & just couldn't get back on top of it. In the end I came 2nd, felt hungry but still Strong. A good day out.
