Bloody disaster all day!

Great race except for the batching disaster which caused a lot of bottle necks and the river crossing which has been a disaster ever since this was the Honda trophy! I mean really I am willing to save 45 and skip that small section!! Overall ride time for day one was 5:34 and moving time 4:34 according to my Garmin and stopped at 1 water table. Otherwise an excellent event and will be back if the route is modified slightly.

This was an awesome event and a good start to spring for me:-) I have to say the climbs were tough but rideable although my pulse rate graph would not agree with that at all. I gave that descent a fair go and got about a third done before I lost my gusto after watching the scend guy fall in front of me so walked the rest of the way. I must admit though the 3 arrows were there so it was your decision to ride or walk. That being said the downhills must have been good as my upper body was pumping more lactic acid than my legs! The batches were absolutely perfect started Marathoin in Batch D and never had any traffic issues finishing in 5h on the dot. The extra 4KM was very very sneaky... Thanks to all for a great day out.
