[quote="Michelle"]However I saw most of the juniors struggling and out the back. It's pretty tough on youngsters on a course like that.

james botwell went well up the last climb very well indeed. he was sitting in the front line most of the way up with all of us.

Naaah ... far too obvious

I am really really happy tonight. I just went in my shed and was checking out a new pair of shoes, as I got on my race bike I thought, this seems a bit strange. Measured the seat post and the post was 3cm too far into the tube. Basically, I had not tightened up the bolt enough since coming back from Majorca, so this explains why I was feeling quite tired in the race and why I didn't win.

Bring on the next race, let me at em.

Cheers

So basically you had a screw loose?

I felt very tired trying to climb and on the steep climb I was really struggling, could not get the power down. Yes I should probably have noticed but didn't do any warm up, as I like to warm up on the first lap and once going just thought I was tired after the run I did the day before.

These things happen Toks, I mean I have seen people with cranks falling off, saddles coming undone the works in races, so the seat post moving down a bit is not too much of a problem. At least its fixed now. I was surprised the knees did not hurt as well, but think that maybe the mountain biking I have been doing at a slightly lower saddle height has got me more used to riding at slightly different heights if you know what I mean.

Cheers

Put insulating tape on post to mark position so that next time when the post starts to slip down the tape will be creased highlighting a dropped post.

No way, do you think i am an amateur or some'in, do you know how much that stuff weighs.
