No, only the 2012 race.
I am not sure where the confusion came from. It was delayed from March to September last year due to the floods in Canberra. It then got cancelled at late notice due to TAMS adding a couple of last minute requirements about needing extra Police support. Something that could not be afforded at such small notice. I think one Police Officer support is in the range of $10k

I have set my goals for this week to be pretty much my all time best figures being 325W for 20min (200W in Feb) and 400W for 5min (230W in Feb), if I achieve them it will mean that it has taken me a tiny bit less than 3 months to go from terrible back to almost my best. Also yesterday morning I was back down to 81.4kg about 13+kg down from my heaviest post accident and only a couple of kg off where I was pre accident so very happy with the progress on that front.
Feeling good to be back hopefully I can continue the upwards trajectory.

5sec: 1354 (was 1472W)
1min: 690 (was 784W)
5min: 401 (was 402W)
20min: 328 (was 328W)
Have only been doing longer efforts so not surprised my top end is missing a little bit. Pretty happy with the progress.
Raced ICC B grade today and got dropped there wasnt any great numbers a lot of it was possibly my sickness in the past few weeks and being caught too far back in the pack, also carrying a few too many kgs for the climb on the course.
