Today we run 60kms up to Georgetown, for the Prologue Stage. The stage itself is just 5.6kms through the streets of town, but this stage is used to seed the starting order. Slower cars go first, and then followed at 30 second intervals - they run slower cars first to keep the field compressed, and therefore the time that the roads are closed to the public is shorter. All of which means that we have been advised to post a deliberately slow Prologue time, this will mean we start early, hopefully well away from the faster guys, who might otherwise need to overtake us on stage - seems like wise advice!
We're off - wish us luck!
