I arrived at Albert Falls to another absolutely perfect day, not a breath of wind and not a cloud in the sky. Couldn't ask for better racing weather. It was set to be a very fast days racing with some great competition from Mitchell Ginsberg and Justin Porteous.
The race went like clockwork for me, one of those days you always hope for but rarely get. I got away early in the swim and felt comfortable in the water on my own. Knowing the bike course was extremely fast I wanted to be alone on the bike, so I was happy to be putting some time into Mitch and Justin.
Onto the bike I put my head down and treated it as a 20km time trial. Its the fastest MTB course I have raced on with no technical sections so it would be down to pushing the entire bike with no rest.
Getting onto the run I had built up quite a comfortable gap but still felt really good so I kept the pace high and finished with a smile on my face. I thoroughly enjoyed the race and taking the win finished the day off perfectly. Mitch had a solid day to come in 2nd with Justin closing out the podium positions.
