not long back... feeling pretty brutalised!
Stinking weather to start off with eh? Sorry I never hooked up with anyone-we were running a bit late and must've been one of the last ones off, then my mate got pissed off because some bloke (not an official or anything) took it upon himself to give him gip about not wearing a helmet and went off on the rampage to prove a point... leaving me to ride pretty much the whole way alone [insertforeveralone.jpg#]
I was going pretty well for the first 40 but the last 10 miles were pretty unpleasant-really sore back and neck and my knee started being a dick too. Can't believe how many punctures I saw-50? I spoke to one guy who punctured 3 times, then there was some poor sod that punctured twice in the last few miles.
Bath running and not plugged the garmin in yet-think I scraped in at about 4.45 though, which I'm ok with considering I'm still way off fitness-wise. Feeling it now... want a whiskey in the bath and then I'm going to drink about a gallon of milk with dinner.
Chapeau to you all chaps!
