I had a brilliant night. The crowd support was immense. Every time I came round the top corner of the endurance race and thought I had nothing left, the cheers and the banging on the fences gave me so much more energy than I thought possible. I was struggling for breath yet grinning like a mad woman. I loved it. I was so relieved there was no penny carnage. We all had visions of a penny pileup on that first corner. It was a shocker in the sprint as it was the first time any of us had hit it at speed. I remember seeing spectator's faces at the far end of the corner "She is not going to make it" which was fair because I am pretty sure my face was saying "I am not going to make it". But I did, and the adrenaline was something else. Massive thanks to everyone who attended and raced and cheered and made it an extraordinary experience.
My god, I am feeling it today though : )
