Despite the complaints about the tough conditions (the atmosphere was wringing-wet when we started), there was a great array of PBs recorded—and a course record. In fact, all three of the medal-winning girls took time off Steff's previous record. There were big smiles floating from the car window as Amanda and Andrew left Wandi: a gold medal on Amanda's part and Andrew's pride satisfactorily restored since his flogging at Champion Lakes (today he made up the start gap and showed the way to the finish, 5.8sec ahead).
Matt Burton was setting the pace at the front of the field until he became the first of today's puncture victims—the gremlins were back and vengeful; seven victims today! Matt had places to be so a quick three+ laps and a sprint back to the start, together with the passage through a saturated atmosphere, could have been the equivalent of a mini tri-? Anyway Big Matt took over and held the hot-seat until Stu, with massive encouragement from his support gallery, took over mid-field. About seventeen minutes later, Simon Billeau swept home. Patrick S-W had pedalled down through the steam to Wandi and put in a couple of very quick laps before fading a tad, and couldn't displace Simon. Still, there wasn't much separating the three. And Simon, Big Matt and Stu shared the Masters' medals. We decided to use the Multi-class factors for the ranking of our para-cyclist field and, as would have been the case last year if we'd used it then, Claire McLean came out top. Jo Blacker might have ranked fifth on that measure but her 4:47 PB put her well on top of the PBs table.
Our traffic management people put out three truckloads of signage and looked after two intersections for us but our own help-staff also put in a huge effort: Sash Taylor and Tania Birkbeck were our desk people; Lorraine our starter etc; Phil Gyford, Travis George and Cathi Dixon marshalled and Shannon Arnott did a superb job assisting around the start/finish. Dave Equid had done the work organising the TM people and bringing our own gear down to the event and Steve Oates had managed the help-list. Amos (Cosmo coffee) dispensed refreshments. Thank you all.
And once again, Damien Wyer showed his artistry behind the camera lens—a departure this time from the usual on-course images with a venture into studio-portraiture. See and enjoy the results on the FB pages. Thank you Damien.
