Yeah. This.
All I ever try to do is PB for the course (and bike) I am riding. Highest position I have ever finished for an open (not including middle marker events) is 15th. I was over the moon until I realised that all the local fast boys were elsewhere that weekend. But in the end I left the HQ knowing the fact that I'd PBed the course.
FYI if you want to know what an honest course is like compared to the E2, there's a 25 down in deep Kent that is flat apart from one small climb midway that you also come back down, and at 7 in the morning has virtually zero traffic. My best is a long 1hr2 on an average morning, but it's a mid 56 on the E2 on a better than average, but not fast, day.
