8HR

Raced well more like road the Geocentric 8hr last weekend just for a bit of fun. Dan from Canberra flew up and we started off well for the first 6 laps till the heat really started to kick in. The starting pace was fast and dusty so not much room for mistake. I started of for out team of 2 and after the first lap we were in 3rd place, Dan's first lap was the second of the race and he went out hard trying to stay in a podium position. we changed each lap and for about 6 laps we were in 3rd. but then it was almost midday and the sun was blazing down on us. Dan was struggling in the QLD heat and stat out for a bit. I slowly rode around the track just to sock up time and not to smash my self. I did a couple of laps till Dan went out on his last for the day. I then went for another 2 than came home and sat down. by then we had 11laps done with 90min of race time left. We started to pack up so everything was ready to go before I went out on our last lap. Overall the race was physically hard as you wanted to make it, technically not much going for it got pretty boring after the 3rd lap. No first aid there at the race which in that heat wasn't great, as well as not first aid there was no extra water. Not very happy for the entry fee. Dan would of like to been up here for a bit to get used to the heat but that happens it was just a ride not really a race just a fun ride. Dan also brought my new bike up which I raced/rode on and it was great. I will give some more information about that In the next couple of days with some pics.
