The Plan
Chase down everything and finish on the podium
The Race – 38.53kms / 36.2kph
I chased everything. I also spent far too much time on the front, esp in last 5 laps.
McDonald tried to off the front many times in the first half of the race. I almost let him get away at one stage but decided against it. Aitken had a few bashes and I think Baggot did too. In the final lap, Parker took off along the back straight stringing out the bunch and I was on him, closely followed by Tambassis.
Entering the home straight I passed Parker and then Tambassis passed me. All I could do was maintain speed and this ensured my second place..
Summary

Despite what felt like tired legs, the race went to plan.
Fastest Lap: Lap 22 (last) 0:02:09 / 42.2kph / 174bpm av. / N/Acad av.
