I was really happy with this race as the wind conditions were forecast to be blowing over 100km /hr
The trip down the SW hway was scary with us breaking a roof rack and nearly loosing Petes Chrono off the roof. I was quite on edge by the time we arrived and really nervous about the race. We had 24 on our grid start but I managed to get a good position in the middle of the front row. I definitely didn't want to get stuck in the wash .
Erica took off like a rocket and got a handy 50m lead , I never did catch her . Alisdair kept up with her for a while but eventually dropped off. I stuck with the lead pack of Louis , Anne and ? I was really pleased to stick with them and didn't have too much trouble with the wash until Luke N Brett came past on a tight LH bend , I fell off a bit but managed to catch them again . At about the 5km mark I took the lead expecting the pack to stick with me but that didn't . I kept that lead to the end and came 2nd to Erica in Div 4 , woohoo!!!!
