i didn’t have the best race and was dropped at about the 15km point when my heart rate hit 188bpm.  did a lot of chasing and picked up a number of people along the way.  andy decided to take a mis-timed nature break and never got back on the group and so worked with me to keep the race going.  by dwellingup we had about 6 riders and had another group of about 8 in sight.  we caught up with them and found it contained smak and carlos, so we all worked together to bring it home.  after the hills, the return route followed the same roads as the team time trial and that brought back some bad, bad memories.  the flat finish came down to a sprint for 20th place (probably) but carlos and i rolled in behind it.
