So having been telling myself all week to be bolder at the start the guy in front of me in the grid went over the handlebars on his first pedal stroke! So less than ideal, was almost last by the first proper corner. Made up some places then got stranded in no man’s land for last two laps. I had a dicey moment in that gravel with my rear. Course was good but relatively tough I thought. Still had my best result yet 45th just keep trying to keep finishing ahead of my grid position. Hoping that’ll improve too but two weeks out might hamper the improvements I’ve been making? Not entirely sure how they grid.
Going to use the break to switch to x1 axs, I already have a 10-44 and have a 10-36 coming just need to decide on front chainring. Yesterday I spent considerable time in my lowest gear and I’d probably have preferred something lower still.
