MTB race (choc for 7 hour - Stromlo) 7:04:00 [5]
Racing choc foot 7 hour at Stromlo.
Got caught in traffic at the chaotic start, as we wound our way up the singletrack hill which cost me a lot of time. Then lay in third for a lap or two, after which I passed Vanina. Trudy Nicolas was in front. I elected not to find out how much she was ahead and focus on my own pacing, otherwise I'd be in trouble with coach - again - for pushing too hard. After the race I found out she was only 5 minutes ahead so probably good I didn't know or I would have had to chase her. But then she would have contested the win, which would have costed me too much energy.
Felt good racing, but noticed the kms in my legs from the past two weeks. Pretty fresh at the end of the day which was positive.
Great day out. Found Chris Thompson still around at the finish, which meant Celia hasn't given birth yet...
Dropped by at their house for a quick chat before heading home to Sydney.
