Oliver Schick-
Cheers. That was another factor. It was supposed to be a goal even this year but honestly I entered it last minute on a bit of a whim because I assumed it wouldn't run. I rode the Shiv for just under 6hrs the week before - the first time it'd been outside for 2 years which definitely isn't the best prep for me. I'm not like Adam Topham who seemed to be able to do very well off only turbo sessions.
hippy
Just got home.
Didn't get the 300. Absototalfuckinglutely died on the finish circuit which is most unusual for me. Combination of the training (2hr turbo sessions don't really cut it) and hydration strategy (don't drink, oh shit cramping like a mofo, drink everything)
Should still be a PB and club record.
With a proper leadup, maybe slightly less wind, that circuit is definitely faster and would "easily" see me crack 300. No results so no idea how everyone else went.
