35 in the men's open class tonight! I was totes chuffed with the open men's win in this one. Iceman took off like an absolute ICBM, and dragged Konsta, Matt Blanch and me up Sidewinder to a pretty massive lead over the chasing field before peeling off, job done (and cooked in his words!).
Matt Blanch sat in for the first lap, before attaching on the second. I managed to latch onto his slipstream for a bit, but that was never sustainable so I dropped back a touch and he eventually got 30 seconds on me (in one lap, sheesh!).
Meanwhile, I had to absolutely bury myself to stay in front of Konsta, who never disappeared. It was only a second's difference in the end in my favour, but could definitely have gone either way...
Great lap tonight - a couple of potential and actual passing spots, and good track choices for a big field with traffic.
