13th Overall & 3rd on Standard & 1st O50
Fancied doing this course as it was in my neck of the woods from growing up in Blackpool (the junior school used to visit Levens Hall, famous for its topiary) also combined with staying over with Pete S in Blackpool after the race and a few beers.
As for the race, a traditional fast course but not with an onshore wind from the Kent estuary....had been playing around with caffeine tablets because of an article in CW....to no affect, so decided to take a handful (600mg) in this race...well, felt bloody odd before the race (overly sweaty) and after the finish line was in a mess over the handle bars...after this I never took anything (the other experiment was beetroot juice shots..all bollix!) unless in a longer race, and needed energy in those....performance wise was average too, although got some cash for 1st O50.
