Slowly catching up on things this week and starting to feel better now my cough is going away.

I think it is unlikely I'll ever get round to writing a proper race report for Godzone and nationals but I guess its fair to say that I am pretty happy with how the last two weeks went.

Nationals - stoked with winning the long. This was the goal and I ran aggressively to achieve it. A bit dissapointed with my performance in the others although still my best nationals ever.

Godzone - Satisfied with how we raced. We learnt a lot (its sad to have to do races to learn lessons sometimes, especially such long ones) and dealt well with Stru being fairly sick all race. I learnt lots in the treks and just needed to be more confident to push the pace. No one else was going to do it so I only have myself to blame really. We wasted hours dawdling but finished well and racing. I can't complain because we had to do this race to learn that lesson as a team. I think the rest of the team also learnt a lot and there is potential that we could go significantly faster given another opportunity.

I felt like this race was similar to WRC in America last year. A big learning experience that has given me a lot of confidence and an idea of how fast I could go. Fun times.
