Matty Larkin Congrats on a well deserved win!!!!

Great race

[Shridevi]

Good job everyone!!

um i swear i was last in WB....

[SimonD]

um i swear i was last in WB....

Did Emily finish in front of you or did she DNF? Her number wasn't recorded on the finish chute. Let me know and I'll change it.

[SimonD]

First edit - MalP was actually in E grade, so the D results now read:

D 1 Rickard Daniel
D 2 Behrens Tom
D 3 Rice Michael

[Startrek]

I didn't see her come in .

[_ABC_]

You forgot to mention the stack in the Mens D / Womens B race. We were all very polite and stopped and waited for everyone to get back on their bikes before starting up again.
Thanks to all the organisers, it was great to get the first race out of the way, even though the hills killed me.

[Frances]

Are we sure Emily's not still out there somewhere?

[j_young_80]

I saw Em pull in as we were warming up for our race.

[gsavage]

Good job everyone!!

um i swear i was last in WB....

And the Savage Man came last in Mens E... I think I have a long way to go... :D But really enjoyed the Kermesse format, even with the hills.

[Shridevi]

Did Emily finish in front of you or did she DNF? Her number wasn't recorded on the finish chute. Let me know and I'll change it.

I have no idea where she was... but i doubt she came in behind me (if she didn't DNF)

[lovetoride]

I did prepare a RD report to go out with the results but "Wingman to Race Director" is SO damn efficient!!!!

Em pulled off half way through :-(

So... (in summary now as I deleted the report in my grief at having my efforts rejected even before the editor saw them)

Matt was awesome! Well done! Need to step up now.

Mr Savage also put in a great effort. Watch out for this man... Determination PLUS

MB looked fantastic working together. Yay TEAM!

All the best to young Callum - we hope you and bike heal quickly. And we all saw the typical genuine concern from fellow riders with the race on hold while ensuring that all was OK.

Good to see newbie Bernadette racing for the first time and ITTing very well. She is keen to come out and race Ladies Night!!

Great to see Linda come out and compete in something without skis attached. (I did have to phone and put the pressure on her on Sat night ;-)

And Lee was awesome as usual to go the whole hog in WA on her lonesome. Go girl!

And many thanks to everyone who helped out with registrations, finish shute, riding with juniors/newbies and general assistance.

You still here?

[Startrek]

Thanks Jane and marshals ,good numbers Jane ,well done.

[MatthewL]

Thanks Jane - great day all 'round - well done!

As for me being bumped - let's wait and see how one or two other races turn out first!!

[gsavage]

Jane, agree with the rest, great support running the marshalling, also pulling me up Mt McDonald this morning. You were spot on focus on breathing out and the rest looks after itself, focussed on this going up the three sisters and it helped a lot :)

[gsavage]

Mr Savage also put in a great effort. Watch out for this man... Determination PLUS JJ

Stupidity really, I was an empty shell after doing Corin the day before... :D
