Just like Round 1, last Sundays B grade final was between Dino and me, I was determined to try and even the slate after Dino easily won the final last time.

Fortunately for me, because the numbers were small it meant that there were shorter intervals between races, which I think benefited me as Dino is still recovering from some serious injuries.

I lost the toss again (4th one that day, can you believe it) and Dino decided to go lead, which I was disappointed in as I thought my only chance was to try and attack early and gap him as the wind was extremely difficult and I know Dino would have way too much power over the last 200m.

I thought I would try and mix it up a bit, so I tried to go up the bank, then back down, then up and down. With just under 2 laps to go Dino went up the bank again and I noticed that he was not looking at me. I saw an opening and I thought, I am not going to get this opportunity again, so I just took off. I had no idea how far Dino was behind me, but the last 50m into the wind took all my effort. I managed to win just on the line, but if the race was 10m longer I would have been the bridesmaid yet again.

So far, I have really enjoyed the Trek SSS as every race has been different and I think that I can honestly say that I have learnt something in each race. Its been great fun and everyone I have spoken to have really enjoyed it as well.

Tell all your friends and lets make February a sell-out.
