Windy. Tailwind out, brutal headwind back.
Started too far back but made up ground well on first rd section then roughly held position until half way hr around 165-170 mostly. Turn in 49 spot on.
First singletrack I dragged a small group across to a bigger group then pressed on. Was (relatively) flying around mile 12 picking off groups of runners with some cheeky drafting for recovery. Then we hit the road at mile 13 and my legs said enough. Lost 3 places on run in but could've been worse.
Finish line clock said 1.43.55 but not seen official results. Was just ahead of the train but only saw it briefly early on.
Ave hr overall 173 max 189, v.tough second half.
Fish n Chips in Bala now headed home.
