I went for a rare Sunday morning bash on the U46B Swindon course this weekend hoping to get a fast time. Unfortunately the wind was blowing and, worse, in the words of Jon Hemming, I was rubbish. The only good bit was the first few hundred yards down the slip road start, after that I simply could not get anything out of my legs at all and just felt terrible. I seemed to be going 1-2 mph slower in both directions than my previous rides on these roads. I thought about packing it in several times but pressed on to record 1:00:57 - not my slowest 25 this year but easily my worst performance.
That's my last race for a while - my next cycling target is my LEJOG rode in the first couple of weeks in August.
