With Rach only being 2 weeks post major abdominal surgery, and sherlock still being a little small for racing (easy to tow you say?) I had to look outside the family for team mates.
Oh sod it, this report has taken too long to write as usual, so suffice it to say that Barryn and I enetered the Big Bang Adventure Race near Otaki and managed to lead it from about 90 secs in all the way to the end, building up a comfortable margin throughout the cycle, run/ bush trek and river tubing event.
This was BB's first race and it went off very well, getting coverage in the local rag the week after, and attracting well over 150 people.
Thanks to Barryn for coming out to play and to Stephen and Belinda for coming out to crew, thankfully the weather was pleasant for hanging around Otaki Forks.
And when I got back to the hospital to go and see the fandamily, someone had parked a car in the hospital - maybe they should have paid more attention to the signs!
