    YIPPIE! Congrats on a GREAT race, and the PB! You have worked hard all season, and definitely deserve to bask in the glow . Great progress over the season, too - it's always nice to see your hard work paying off.

    Congrats again, Raven - you really deserve it!

    Hey there SheFly... yeah, I do deserve it.
    All year I have set up expectations for myself, dared to dream and hope, and then not achieved much at all.
    I mean, I know finishing and competing is what I like - I am not saying I have had a bad year - cause I haven't, it's been fun - but it was hard some days cause I wondered if I was making any headway at all with my fitness and level/ability...

    But I am so absolutely rapt with this (yes, I am still high as a kite over this - who needs "recreational drugs"? I took nothing except caffiene and am still flying 2 1/2 days later!).

    I know you and the other racers know how this feels and I am glad I can share it. One day I'm gonna try doing a TT on the smoother roads of the US or the UK... bet I'll really surprise myself there!

    Oh dear how could I have missed it...


    Belated congratulation on your well deserved race. It sounds like you did it perfectly. Gave it all you've got without losing it at the end.

    BIG BIG CHEERS...

    Thanks Cat

    I know its weeks later but I am still really pleased with this result.

    yeah, I am starting to be able to pace myself at the extreme end of what I can put up with - I can push it harder, I know, but i am improving and I am so relieved I am
