{"raceId":9682375942,"athleteId":2188545,"name":"Olivia Podmore Memorial: C Grade Clash - A Sprint to Remember and a Day of Triumph in Christchurch, Canterbury ⛅","description":"The Winter Worlds, Olivia Podmore Memorial race was a breathtaking C grade showdown. On a pleasantly warm 14°C day, seven riders assembled, ready to test their mettle without the need for leg and arm warmers. With a north-west wind beckoning a fierce start, the stage was set.\n\nGraham Allen was quick to lead, with me right behind him. Though Phil, Paul Rickerby, and the Weirs initially lagged, the pack was soon whole again. My bold break at the first turn offered a brief lead, but my age and self-proclaimed lack of talent meant it was short-lived.\n\nSeveral daring attempts with Graham Allen and Michael Ferigo brought tension but no breaks, especially with Ferigo holding back. Paul Rickerby\u0027s presence at the front added to the excitement, and the shifting winds kept us all on our toes. Our attempts to make a race of it led to a thrilling bunch ride back from the Selwyn huts, battling a block head Norwest wind.\n\nAs the sprint loomed, I opted to stay hidden among seasoned sprinters like Graham Allen, Michael Ferigo, and Paul Rickerby. The final 150 metres were a thrill, with Paul\u0027s jump setting off a fierce sprint. Riding around them, I secured a proud second place, besting even Michael Ferigo, who usually has the upper hand.\n\nThe post-race festivities at the Flaming Rabbit and the presentation of trophies and prize money for coming second were a delightful end to an unforgettable race day.\"\n\nWeather Report: Broken clouds, 7°C, and the wind was blowing 7km/h from E\n\n📈 aiendurance.com summary:\nExternal
