C2K history: This will be my fourth C2K having podiumed each time the past 3 years. A second placing in 2006 followed by two third places in '07 and '08. Best memory would have to be my first finish. A long slow and very painful Charlottes Pass - Summit return which made the accomplishment all the more rewarding. Oh and the breakfast and presentations at the Jindy hotel are pretty damn good too. :)

The story

There's something very special about this race. A love / hate relationship. I love the sense of journey; point to point, sea to summit; it's a classic challenge. I hate the last 50kms on bitumen. I love the final climb to the summit, I hate the return on smashed quads. Last year I was on target for a good time when the weather turned. Upon hearing the race was stopping at Charlottes I guess I lost focus and wound back the effort. This year I would like to push for a time more reflective of capability. I have the best crew who make running this thing really effortless logistically. Glad to be back again pushing for a 4th finish.
