 | Cycling (MTB) race (Scott 24 Hour) 41:55 [4]14 km (3:00 / km) +400m 2:37 / km | |
| shoes: SH-M120B |
| i was lucky with the lap order that i started my next lap a few mins before sunrise (which is pretty early at the mo!). we started doing 1-2-1-2 so me and kez were alternating (me blue, kez red, me blue, kez red) which meant only a 40-odd minute recovery bewteen laps. this lap was in the dawn twilight, but it might have well been full sunlight cause i rode with sunglasses and had no problems with vision. my finger was starting to get real sore, and my head was messed up with a dream that was a cross between dr who and groundhog day. awesome. |

| after a coffee while kez rode the red loop i went out again on the blue loop. i felt real tired but i was a bit smoother this time. really enjoyed this lap, even with my finger killing me on the descents that were getting rougher with every clown braking before (and through) corners where they shouldnt be....

| after a few hours rest with some porridge i made with oats and marshmallows i went out on the blue loop on my and Sub plus' last lap. i was tired but smoother again so even though i was riding the slowest i have all weekend the time didnt show it. another one i really enjoyed... and a bit less traffic this time too (it was after a lot of teams had stopped - you could finish any time after 11am) which is always good. |

| Cycling (MTB) race (Scott 24 Hour) 40:02 [4]14 km (2:52 / km) +400m 2:30 / km | |
| shoes: SH-M120B |
| blue loop, daylight. went out as the 5th rider for Sub Plus (jules, kez, sebba, fel and mace, in order of how many of jo's muffins they ate). my finger was pretty bloody sore, i dont think it slowed me down much but it hurt on the downhills and i never felt comfortable. never really felt strong up the hills either, and had to battle a lot of traffic. awesome fun though, really good course. |
| Cycling (MTB) race (Scott 24 Hour) 1:26:00 [4]27 km (3:11 / km) +750m 2:48 / km | |
| shoes: SH-M120B |
| the girls got a 2nd lap in the daylight but the blokes had to ride at night, and we decided to double up so we cold get a bit more rest in between. i went out at about9.30pm and did 43.50 for the blue loop then 42.00 for the red loop. i really hit the wall descending from the top of stromlo into the finish - just got dizzy and weak and pins & needles in my arms. not sure why, i wasnt riding that hard... i was glad to get back and tag kez and eat some hot pasta... |

| rolled out to stromlo for a lap of the blue course and back home. the finger is ok but still painful, i think i'll make it around the scott. got real cold on the way home, it dropped to 8 degrees and started raining and i only had short sleeves and knicks on. was nice to get home to some dark chocolate coated liquorice. |

| kez piked so i did this one all on my own. wasnt feeling super fresh so it was good, i could just cruise the climbs and didnt need to win the governor general sprints to choose the cafe... my finger was pretty sore, its ok on the roadie but i couldnt have ridden a mtb today. coffee and raisin toast at gus aint the same on your own, but i had the canberra times to keep me company. |

| cruised around Stromlo at night, thought i'd better do somn to prepare for the Scott... it was good fun until i had a stack, riding down a crappy rocky track we raced on once (in a corc xc), went over the bars and smashed myself up. pretty glad i had a helmet on... wrecked a finger on my left hand and couldnt ride any more after. i hope it improves before the weekend! |
