The race turned out to be a bit unlucky for me.
On the zig-zag the legs felt seized up and got passed going from about 15th to 30th, a guy then stopped and helped me stretch out the calves and then was able to keep moving.
Hit the really steep bit and went into a hard tramping climb and caught everyone who i had been with by the time i hit the bush line.
Topped in 15th in 1.34 and immediately passed another two and enjoyed the lollies at the hut. Kept up a dangerous speed on the descent passing two more before hitting the wall on the flats and then hating the road. Got to the carpark in 2.50 before doing a slow 34.20 to the finish.
Got my goal of 3.30hrs so will have to return next year to take on the 3hr mark
