Eastbourne was great today i thoroughly recommend it. Well organised well attended with a good atmosphere and plenty of spectators as the sun was out. The bike isn't as hilly as it looks just as couple of short slopes but loads of fast recently resurfaced sections all on closed roads. I wish I bought the TT bike instead but the run is harder than it looks with half it gravel with a couple of long draggy uphill sections loads of dead turns and a detour back through transition at the half way point but the other half is right next to the sea which is nice. I managed to podium still but i need to stop taking my bike for granted because its not what it was pre baby for obvious reasons and going just ok doesn't win races. Good to get this first race out of the way now i know where I'm at and know what I've got to do. Less beer and more training would be a start.
