Thanks mate, no problems. Turns out my 'off' is actually a fractured ankle and fractured thumb. Moon boot goes on tomorrow and thumb splint will mean I'll just see the WSC 24 from the pits now...

I came back into transition to find my esky surrounded by about 60 singlespeeders in Mal Adjusted jerseys. The only way I could get it back was by saying that the beer was for you.

Commiserations Craig, have no fear though - the parrots are already speculating it'll be back down under for 2013
Where did you come a-cropper?

It was such a great track with a few technical features. I crashed though on the easy, fast right hander at the end of the fireroad after the transition singletrack. Overcooked it, drifted then smacked the dirt.
Joe and Fiona put on a good show and sitting in the tent you realise just how much there must be to organise.
Hi Craig, Bad news! I really feel for you. I have been following your blog since the Sydney 24. Don't let it get you down.

We had a few reports of someone down in that section (Troy Glennan let us know at the end of his lap for example), but you must have gotten going by the time Joe got there.
If I've got the right section, there's an A and B line there, but almost nobody sees the B line.

At first I thought that but once I found a good line the A line was quicker.......................took me about 6 laps to work it out though
Oh and bad luck Craig, what a bummer.

Yeh, it just depended on a lap by lap basis whether I remembered to take the B Line or not (its quite a sharp right hand turn to get onto it given the speed you carry into that section - well I think so anyway) On that particular occaision I forgot - I didnt forget again for the rest of the race!
It was pretty packed there, not only did I cause the guy behind me to stop, I nearly hit Dave the cameraman on the way through, and made the 2 guys on the B-Line stop because I landeded on the edge of their track.
It was certainly the longest I've waited before standing up after a crash in a long time! (lay there checking my toes and fingers, then wrists and ankles, then legs and arms, then neck etc etc)

A warmer than expected morning greeted when we arrived at Mt Stomlo for the fourth round of the Singletrack Mind Series and seven hours of race time. The race got underway on time, with a group, self-seated start and deciding to start towards the back of the bunch was not the wisest decision. So after a few track stand comps with my fellowTeam Enduro Pulse members while everyone sorted themselves out, finally we were underway through the single track - although from this moment on, we were already 5 minutes behind the race leaders.

What a great day and well run too, great work.
