Stage 1. Massive field- 164 starters. Pace up to the the sprint at Mt Crawford was really fast- almost 50kph average at one stage- but not really hard. Plenty of movement in the bunch made it pretty easy to keep a reasonably good position. Constantly moving backwards and forwards though- could be in the front 25 or so one minute, and before you know it, suddenly towards the back. Such a big bunch made it hard to tell where we were sometimes, too. Couldn't see corners and climbs coming up- just follow the wheel in front and pedal as hard as you had to to hold it. Got caught out by the turn off to Checkers Hill. Ended up in the back half and almost had to stop pedaling a few times. Got over in the bunch, before it strung out after the turn on to Gorge Road for 5km or so, but bunched up again soon enough. Made a big effort to get to about 30th wheel for the turn on to Corkscrew, but then cramped at the bridge at the bottom of the hill. Probably lost about a minute in the first km of the climb, but then came good and started picking off stragglers as we got further up. Rolled in 93rd, at 3m 18s, about 1m off the main bunch.
