Well done! That's a brilliant improvement over a year.
Weight Weenieism is only really fun cause we're equipment geeks. Gains are mostly psychological (though I reckon rim/tyre weight matters most). As you say, I reckon how much you manage to empty yourself and genetics are the main factors. Pies matter too but you're skinny enough so it's down to marginal gains for body weight as well.

About 5 seconds faster on Goring and 7 seconds on Streatley - tried a bit harder than last year. Bradbury's CR went on Goring by a few seconds.
Unfortunately my suspicions have been confirmed and the quality of the field was better so I doubt I improved on my placing from last year.
Seriously though, I am pretty much done with the weight saving. Chasing a few more grams is a bit pointless on a frame that's 500g too heavy.
