French GP #1 Jard Sur Mer

Greetings all

Well the first French race went reasonably well. The team of Mulhouse was admirable led by Mr Untouchable Sergio Silva who is just a class of his own on the run at the moment. Unfortunately, Joerie Vansteelant got a puncture but the team got through in second and we get another shot next week at Chateauroux tro get on even terms with Marville. The team has a race video here

In the race I made a silly error on the bike/run transition by not placing my bike helmet in the box and had a Yellow Card "stop/go penalty on the second run lap" as a result which proves costly in this sort of racing with 25 guys within a minute of each other. I finished 12th after being in a battle from 4-6th places prior to my penalty. The body is feeling good and I am looking forward to the racing ahead- most importantly the European Championships in 6 weeks.

We have settled in beautiful Basque Country and the training is sensational. We have an awesome apartment, heaps of great food, space for Sebby to play and there are no excuses once we settle into the pro life.

Running Regards
