Great race report, lph, but sorry to hear you have been feeling under-the-weather...

Good on you for tagging onto those young guys and then getting with and staying with and workjing with the bigger bunch.

Loved the term "glommed onto their backs". Never heard of glomming before...

2nd and 4th are excellent placings - well done you. A veeerrrry niiice reward - and well deserved - after all that effort.
