Thanks lads,
With the first race as A2, the preparation started well with a TGI fillet steak followed by a burger and beer. Lining up with Arron Buggle and the likes, was like starting with Robin- race over. However, this would be a race within a race. At 50kph , things were heating up. I managed to stay near the front and as Morty commented before , boxed clever.
At the finish, Colm Bracken led out his team mate Mark and jumped on his wheel. The sprint felt like it went on for minutes, but edged ahead.
Delighted!
Colm got 8th in A3, well done. You'll be joining me soon.
