11th May Mothers day.

Mitch had a good nights sleep and woke up full of beans about 7am. I was up and about packing for the race. Leaving Mitch in good hands with his grandparents i left for the race. It was great to see so many families their making a day of it. A quick call to Kate to wish her a happy mothers day. Start time was 9:30am and i was off first. With a cracking pace off the start line i was finding it hard to hold the wheel. Towards the end of lap one i managed to take a wrong turn and ended up at the top of the Com's games course with josh and jack. Realizing we had taken a wrong turn we quickly got back on course losing about 4mins that lap. The pace remained high with Murray overcoming a broken chain on his first lap to put a gap between us and the Felt boys. In the end it was that 1min gap that sealed us the victory and the cash.

I took off straight after Murray had finished eating and having the usual Ascend protien shake as i drove to pick up Mitch. Thanking the grandparents for looking after him over the last few days i quickly made my way to the hospital to see Kate and Emma. When i arrived Kate had decided to early release herself and come home. When she got home Mitch gave her a mothers day present and a card (thanks grandma for organizing.) I picked up some fish and chips for dinner. Finally i get time to have a shower slip a fresh pair of skins on for recovery and wind down for bed as i have an early start of 6am.
