Running 1:10:00 [3]
16k (10mile) Brimbank XC race. 63'13.
Probably the toughest xc race Ive done.. It was the real deal, hills, bogs jumping over rocks. Climbing Col d Brimbank was just awesome as everyone had cow bells and lots of cheering.
I took it easier early on, felt bit average in the middle to late sections but was good for the kick home. I beat a few guys in the club I normally wouldnt and others who were generally running quicker then me. I was making so much time as they pussy footed down the hills.
Now my calfs and feet are shattered from xc spikes... Its been a while.
Happy with race especially after the debacle which required me to ride 18 or so ks. The moped pissed oil everywhere on kick start.
Riding a singlespeed all the way to near the airport is not ideal race prep and Melbourne isnt as flat as I thought it was.
