With people hammering from the gun I thought I was a goner within the first kilometer! But things settled down once the winning break was off and I managed to stay with the pack for two and a half laps. Then it was Klaas, Jason, Andre and I working together off the back of the main group.

We kept a pretty constant distance for a while until we hit Cloverdale and then they were gone. With half a lap to go I was really bonking and the weather was getting windier and colder, but I pushed through it and finished. Not bad considering my goal was to finish at least one lap with the pack. It’s great when you have such high aspirations!
