heading to BBQ Stakes took a bit longer than expected since the 12:04pm bus didn't show so I had to wait for the next one...meanwhile the rabbit informed me that her handicap was 3:45 - how did she get 15secs back?!...that meant a 17min head start...

the later bus meant it was going to be tight to get to the start line on time...I positioned myself near the middle door and was off and running as soon as it opened...I even ran up the stairs!

Thomo met me on the hill down to the start, taking my cards and money so I had a good 20secs "rest" on the start line before it was time to go!...

conditions were perfect for today's run and I pushed hard...I wasn't sure if I could catch her but I spied her heading through the underpass near Lyons shops and actually caught her a little earlier than last week...

I crossed the line 9th (2nd eligible) while the rabbit was 33rd in another PB for the standard course - 47:49...my gross time will see at least 15secs added to my handicap so we should have some good battles over the coming weeks...

this was my fastest time on the standard course since June last year and ranks =5th with the time I ran on 18 May last year...spooky!
