Event: Sydney Sprint Series #3
 

Sprint O at Olympic Park.

Good course, I really enjoyed it, was a bit stressed from technology meltdown at start/rego. The auto send functionality seems broken in both SI master units... SI-Simple to the rescue.

Suspect I'm the cause of the problems with one of the units.

C • SI Simple and Andy's brain to the rescue! 15

Sprint - Splits

With Big Foot mob, then some control checking for SSS afterwards.

Coming up the hill to the showground on the outbound leg with a good tempo, we were catching a group of about 12 quite fast. I could hear a BIG truck coming up the inside lane (we were on the shoulder). Started to think that it could be interesting if the other riders didn't pull over a bit more and then first one of them stopped and then another, right in the middle of the lane. Then a third looked like he was going to stop, but slowly wheeled left to the edge of the bush and fell over. The truck came past right at this moment and we picked our way through some gaps.

Legs seemed to remember to go high cadence. Great temperature, sub 20 to start with.

Various commuty bits.

Focus ion high cadence. Those steps up to Northwood go on for ever.

Cleaned up the ride - no feet down, no arm rests, just lucky with lights and a couple of crappy track stands.

Back in goal. Very busy - down 3-1 at half time, we came back to 5-3 (accountable defending boys), before I let in another in the tense last few minutes, so 5-4 to us.

Wet, wet, wet. Saw nobody else on the bush parts.
