Coogee was awesome, a tough 918 meters hot dog course with a up hill finish for 22 laps. It was really a great day of racing for Vanderkitten. We all were aggressive and saw the front on the peleton several times. We launched several aggressive attacks that were countered by Virgin Blue or brought back by the Honda Dream Team. with 12 laps to go a small pack of 8 got about 5 meters off the front and Tiffany launched to it. By the time the peleton saw the U-ball the pack of 8 had about 15 meters. I sprinted to the front and sat up, trying to give Tiff and the break a bit of a lead. A few more VKs monitored the front and in about 4 laps the pack of 8 had 25 seconds. The break (1 VK, 1 Honda, 2 Virgin, 4 Oz indies) stayed off the front till the finish. Tiff, finished 6th. We are all exctied for Tiff and VK. The media coverage was awesome in front of cheering crowds.
We hung out and watched the mens race and headed over the "The Aquarium" which is a huge beach bar and restaurant. We hung with friends and took a dip in the Ocean. The New Zealander celebrated Starla's birthday today by tossing her in the ocean. I posted photo on VK FB page.We have finally arrived where we started, at the Abcott Inn, where will be for the rest of the weekend. The final stage is in Cronulla, stage time, 12:10.
