The course was a fairly tough 18 km out and back with some drags and hills. I rode with pretty much all I had, but I know I lost two much time on the hills. I averaged over 41 km/h (which I am happy with) to come 11th in 26 min 13 sec. A top 10 in this event was a goal from the start of the year and I couldn't have gotten much closer.
When I was 26, I would jokingly refer to my bike as the CWM (Cross Wind Missile). I'm not 26 anymore...
About Me
My name is Dean Russell and I raced road bikes and some track endurance in the 1990s. I stopped racing in 1999 when I was 26. After almost thirteen years of being a lazy slug I decided to put my sorry backside onto a bike seat and have another crack at racing. This blog chronicles my journey from being completely unfit and overweight to becoming one of the oldest Elite A grade riders in Queensland...and then slipping nicely back into Masters racing.
