Due to injury I haven't been training for 2 weeks and it really showed today. I found it hard to keep with the leaders on the first lap and I wasn't enjoying the pace one bit, None the less my HR was often up around 97% so I wasn't slacking off. I made a couple of silly mistakes and was getting a bit loose so I was much happier when I backed off to around 90% HR.
Bad luck to Gazza for getting a flat front tyre on the first lap. When I got to him he was about the throw the towel in but I chucked my seat bag at him and yelled something about thinking about the points. I only found out at the end he didn't even have a pump!! Sorry Gazza, I tried 
Great to see Wazza racing the whole last lap bashing handlebars with some young gun. At the end he looked like he had given it everything, they were glued together on the line.
There were a lot more riders this weekend so I'm not expecting top ten, but it's good to have my race number for the year - 27
Temp: Around 28 I think.
Hydration: 1.2 Litres
Energy: 1.5 Gels (not enough)
Track: Just about perfect.
