Thanks for jinxing me. I had a tight shifter cable so started to replace it 2 hours before the race but I accidentally pulled out the inner sleeve I use. I’m just now finish up.

Not sure self sabotage even gets an excuse score does it!
But just to be generous maybe 1 out of 10?
(Hope the bikes ok Randy)

It was a self imposed problem. But OK now. I guess it’s Saturday rerun for me. ,

My turbo died half way through the race. I think it’s at least partly my own fault too. After the chat the last few days on here about different turbos, power readings etc, I inadvertently cursed myself by thinking how well my turbo was running. It’s a bit like when you think to yourself; “Man, I’ve not had a puncture in ages”, you’re almost guaranteed to instantly get a puncture!
For what it’s worth it doesn’t count as an excuse because it chose to die a while after Craig chose to drop me!
I’m just hoping it’s not terminal now.
