Thanks! To make 117th from a 6.15 start is extremely impressive. I think the main reason I got a highish placing last year despite being in the B wave was because the lead group had been incorrectly lead down the Blackwall tunnel, and I ended up joining up with some as they got back on the actual route.
If you have a mostly flat sportive route (e.g. Prudential, Etape Caledonia) being in wave A is pretty much essential to have any hope of making the top 100. Less so with a hilly sportive.
