Someone said my last segment was faster than everyone else. Because on the last climb and the last descent I didn't really give a fuck - I could walk the bike home if it broke - so I just let rip.
So if that's true (I've not looked at any ride data yet) then it shows you what a difference I was making with regards to taking things very gently. Essentially for 95% of the race I was worried I'd cut a tyre and then not be able to seat it and have to run tubes or something.
