Nice moves by Rupe at 33secs 1.50 and 3.33

Well I had a mixed race. Got the hole shot

but got the dreaded cramps half way thru the first lap. Had to stop 3-4 times a lap to take a puff on the Anti cramp spray and had to pit every lap for enough time to eat a ham and cheese sandwich and half a bar of chocolate. A meal on the run.
My speed was good and fitness was OK but the cramps were killing me. Reckon I lost an easy 5 minutes because of them.
Something that pissed me off a bit was the failure of slower riders to make room for overtaking, especially in the tighter sections. But then they were probably getting pissed off that I'd pass them then stop for a shot of medicine. One guy I passed 7 times.
Just great to get out on the track again after so long.

haha, was pretty slow going so if you see an opening take it! 3.33 was the result of a shortcut into a tree stump. I learnt those move following you by the way!!!

Anyway I think my 21hr lap time was a little off the pace, infact I'm still on my 2nd!

You're right there was a heap of guys that just wouldn't move to the side and let you past I had a shit start when i caught up to Rupe we got caught behind 2 guys on KTMs for ages that where so dang slow but between them both took up every line to pass till they failed on a pathetically small hill.

The guy who came 14th overall. His last lap he got a 47, rest of his laps were over 50minutes. Seems abit weird that someone can randomly be 3 minutes faster
