Awsome day, great fun. The one thing that sticks in my mind was blowing out my footstrap 3 mile from the start, sucked but was inspired by Hamish and Doogle Mcdonald and said to myself hell with it if they can do it with no footstraps I can do it with one. Then Hamish pasted me as if I was standing still. Great time, Cheers all. Neil

What an awesome ride. It was my first race and also my longest trip yet. The 04 Nemesis is still working good. After the first two or three miles I settled in and started to make pretty good speed (relatively speaking) but I had four or five wipeouts throughout the trip that cost me time. I kept getting out ahead of the kites that were around me, then falling back again after wiping out. The water was gnarly through government cut and out in front of Fischer Island and the heavy boat traffic made things even more hectic. I saw two nice sized sea turtles along the way to Crandon.
After Crandon I finished the day with a ride further down to Matheson which was real nice. It was real fast down through the calmer water of the bay with my legs were already used the ocean. All in all, an amazing day. I'll try to make it up to Ft Lauderdale so that I can get my ass handed to me in more races. Matt.
