Worlds Task 11 - G rap

Going into the last day in 10th with a podium in sight, it was worth pushing hard in pursuit of a result. Unfortunately this works both ways and after being really stuck at about 20km's I met up with Kari and Steve way down low. Eventually Kari and I got out of our hole, unfortunately leaving Steve in it, and set out to catch the leaders, eventually hunting them down with about 7km to go and coming in to goal about 21st for the day. Since we got so stuck this resulted in a 25th day placing on leadout, and the winner got a break on the gaggle, resulting in lower scores for the rest. Dropped to 12th in the final placings.

After 11 tasks it felt like I could do this forever - just getting into the groove!

Overall the Australian team came 5th in the world.

Kari came 2nd for women, and 40th overall
Gareth came in at 12th overall, Pete Slade came in just behind Kari at 45, Felipe Rezende at 85 and Steve Nagle at 117.
