It’s been a stressful day - up with the toddler at 530. Scramble to get stuff ready and adjust setup in time for my wife to get to an appointment, then meet her afterwards to hand over toddler and get to the start. Misunderstood the email and thought there was no parking at the start, so parked 6 miles away and rode in. Which was fine, just extra stress when you’re short on time.
Managed to set off hard and hung on. It’s a tough course apparently. The tips on my position off my mate really helped, felt a lot better. And I’m sure the helmet and skinsuit also made a massive difference. It’s absolutely roasting too.
Lovely vibe tho, which is the main thing. Friendly, chilled out - similar to fell races in that respect which is exactly what I was after.
Chuffed!
Well, much better than expected. I am very sweaty
