At least you finished. I got caught in a traffic jam on the A23 on the way down, and only had time to do a 5 min warm up. It wasn't enough. Blew my doors off first time up the hill and didn't feel right second time up so called it a day.
Sorry to hear that, frustrating I’d imagine. Probably warmer for your race too.
That climb was tough, walked twice! Definitely has me considering my gearing but that’s for another day.
I'm normally fine with the heat, so I don't think was an excuse today. Just overdid it, trying to stay with people who I usually beat.
Jo Burt was riding singlespeed in our race! He was faster than me on the opening lap too. Mental.
