| Overall feelings about the race: The first 2 miles breezed by without much thought, I was pacing off the front pack comfortably and pushed into second just before the 2 mile mark. Then reality kicked in the last mile as I was fighting to hold onto the third spot with several runners tailing. |
|
| Best part of the race: Crossing the road heading into the finish with around 150m to go, I passed my Dad who told me to "Leave no doubt," which has been the team motto for the season. I gave it a last chance to seize third and held on through the finish. |
| The FLCC Experience: Being a veteran of two years here the weekend's gone by smoothly. I've had an easier time holding to the schedule and been a lot more confident in my skin sitting among the best in the country. It's been a pleasure hanging with the boys of the South. |

Personal note: THANK YOU. |
