12 PM
Mountain Biking race (Cape Epic) 1:40:56 [5] 26.61 km (15.8 kph)
shoes: Specialized Epic Comp 2006
Stage 5, a time-trial. Since we were currently ranked about 88th, we started quite late in the day when it was quite warm (top 30 went ahead of us!). Mac's tyre was replaced overnight, but we had a massive mechanical at 4km into the TT when it exploded (manufacturing defect on the bead). 2 bombs and 2 tubes to get it fixed, thanks mainly to some illegal spectator help. Mac was blown after that and battled up all the hills. The tube got a flat at WP2 (mechanics on hand), so we lost at least 11 mins today (40 + 40 + 10 + 5 + 11 so far on the 5 stages!!!).146th open men and 197 overall, 10 minutes faster would have had us in our usual position. Otherwise a lovely XC-type course. Tm 1:30:30 Av 17.6 Mx 46.5
