After an hour cleaning the bike, a hot shower and lots of food, most of the afternoon was spent lazying around the room spyching each other up for the 300m TT Hill climb we had to do in the afternoon.
I am not a sprinter, not even close, I can actually say I dont even know how to do it, something I dont train for and have no experience in, so for me it was going to be a new challenge to ride off into the unknown of Anzac hill as fast as my lungs, heart and legs could take me… turned out this wasn’t very fast.
The athmosphere on the hill was awesome, it finally stopped raining and people were cheering each other on, the view at the top was spectacular, even though a short stage, a cool part of the race.
We were set of in reversed GC order which meant the best were left for last… In the womens it was Rowena Fry who had her sprinting climbing legs on, followed by Jenny King and Jenny Fay for 3rd.
In the mens race it was Andy Blair for the win, Ben Hogarth for 2nd and Sean Lewis in third place…
Time to eat, recover and do it all over again tomorrow.
