52nd OVERALL; 4th STANDARD; 1st AGE GOLD MEDAL
Worst race of the season by a country mile! Predicted to finish 28th based on form and rankings, and I would have been so pleased with that! Although squeezing in the top 25 would have been great! Set off like a train, and power far too high by the turn - basically blew and grovelled back - probably was about 30 secs down for an average ride, but the standard was so high, 30 seconds is a long way in a 10!
Still managed to win the age gold medal, but I just wanted to go home! Impolite to do so before the presentations...John Archibald showed his class by finishing 40n secs clear in a course record of 17-53...like a Hatfield course - amazing ride!
