A few days ago while picking up my bike I felt a little twinge and knew right away that I was going to struggle unless I had it looked at &#8211; which I did. Fast forward a few days and I had another physio attempt yesterday to sort it out which I was not entirely sure was going to be the fix I needed. Today showed that I was correct in my thinking. Needless to say I wanted to solider on and see how far I could go. <\/p>\n<p>Entering into T1 in the large pack of 8 with Josh ahead by about 1:30 minutes and feeling really good. Out on the bike I wasn&#8217;t getting comfortable and truth be told the weather was eating into me kilometre by kilometre. Looking down at my Garmin and seeing how far was left and how bad I was now feeling I believe that exiting the race following the end of lap one was in my best interest. <\/p>\n<p>A huge congrats to Josh Amberger and Stickys for hard fought race due to challenging conditions. <\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to get back here and give it another crack.<\/p>\n<p><iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='http:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/219595911\/embed\/7a1d6b67dbb6cfbd694f166a65b4030c7959fe5d'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_4851.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4851\" width=\"2320\" height=\"1741\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1364\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_4854.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4854\" width=\"2878\" height=\"2159\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1365\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_4844.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4844\" width=\"2112\" height=\"2818\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1367\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1366,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timberkel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1363"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timberkel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timberkel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timberkel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timberkel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1363"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/timberkel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1363\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1368,"href":"https:\/\/timberkel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1363\/revisions\/1368"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timberkel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timberkel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timberkel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timberkel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
