Rake Hill Climb...

i saw him on the podium at the end so must've gone well?

Well there was only 3 juniors so I was bound to win something .

I did it in a time of 4:08, the other junior beat me by 6.2 seconds. When I finished I couldn't walk, my legs were like rubber, it was the hardest climb I've had and I'm guessing most of that was due to the nerves. All in all a good day though.

I originally thought there was only two juniors (inc. me) but it ended up being three.

My first ever event.

Great time aj. I too couldn't feel my legs after I finished had to lie down for a bit, then i couldn't get back up.

Went down with Tubbs and we both got soaked on the way so I had soggy socks, though I did take a spare set of shorts. Anyway over the moon with my time of 3.52, way quicker than i was expecting. Thanks to all the railers shouting us on. I would of stopped if it wasn't for the support.

matt Clinton strolled it in 2.24 and picked up a £800 set of wheels for his troubles

my first event too

Matt Clinton was bloomin fast, hope he does well in next weeks event aswell. Good job on your time. It was weird, I went into the lower cog for one part and I've never really had to do that before on that climb (apart from first few trys).

Perhaps you had gone off a little quicker? The headwind and slippy surface wouldn't of helped.

May have set off quicker, didn't seem like it though, but I enjoyed the day.

Mat clinton is FAST.... never seen him though..is he a small guy?

 

[Tubbs]

Well done Andrew and Matt! Great day - I had tears in my eyes watching some of the younger ones - one was only 13!

Matt Clinton went faster than I do on the flat.

Oh and a podium is a podium I try not to mention how many were in my category when I do well!

Alot of great pics there PastyPower.

Agreed!

Seeing those pictures of you makes me feel very, very old! Oh, and very, very fat - you're certainly built for hill climbing!

 

[aJohnson]

I thought I'd be better at longer distances due to my muscle fibres. But I am skinny so don't have much weight to carry.
