8th OVERALL ; 3RD ON STANDARD
An early morning start on what was a gorgeous Summer day, before some really high temperatures. ☀️Hoping for a fast time with a NE light to moderate wind....but again, it was more a "treacle day", 😫 as was the consensus in the HQ after....knowing to try and hot the turn into the wind, as close as possible to 30mph average, and then hope that tail really speeded things up....unfortunately the average speed was well down....and as hard as I could on the return, especially the last 7 miles....it just was not happening....🙄
This was the consensus, as stated above with everyone, except Conrad Moss who recorded a PB and almost broke the course record....a change in conditions (he was 70 mins after me) or simply a remarkable performance, perhaps a little of both! Well done that man!! 💪
I finished on 51-28 8th overall, and beaten by Conrad and Angela C (of course) on standard....
Two pints of cold lager on a sizzling day later next to the River Usk and all was forgotten!! 🍻😜
