This was a hell of a hard race. About 35ish of us for 120 km. It was seven laps of a 17 km course. The field gradually whittled down lap after lap. With two laps to go there was a break of two up the road and fifteen of us left in the bunch. With 10 km to go the hammer went down again and I was seeing stars. The field started to split up over the three hills on the last lap and we all finished in dribs and drabs. I went over the line in 11th place. I would have loved to be able to say I was top ten in Queensland in my age division in my first year back racing, but I'm satisfied with how I went. I left nothing out there. It was the hardest race of the year for me and my legs feel like they have been bashed around with a hammer. Can't wait for next year...
I do have the State Titles Individual Time Trial in two weeks and I am hoping I will finish a bit higher in that event.
