Well, I have "texted" so many people and today have temporary access to the 'net' so thought I would log in here quickly to tell you gals the news...

After several years of trying, being dogged by mechanical and health issues... I am proud I can finally announce I am married to the NZ Masters 3 National Time Trial Champ.

Yup, my partner bought home the gold!!!!!

Not only did he bring home the gold, he also had the second fastest time on the day at 28:37 over the 20km rolling course full of tight corners and several roads... Masters 2 Lester Settle had the fastest time of 28:16. Only 4 men came in under 29 minutes

I am so proud... he has worked so very very hard and been so extraordinarily disciplined.

My sons both did creditable times coming in the middle of their fields. It was such a relief to have them all safe home - very nerve-racking on what was a technically dangerous course - such as going round an intersection which was downhill descent from both directions...
