I'm off at 6:21, so up at 4.30 and feeling rotten. Try to bolt a bit of breakfast, load up and and off.
Get to Richmond for just enough time for a pit-stop, pump tyres, get number and down to the start.
Legs feeling slow and seem to need a lot more effort to get shifting. Should know the course by now but still having trouble judging where the rises are and which ones I can carry the speed through. Keeping an eye on the gap to my 30second man which seems to be coming down steadily. But next time I check it's back up to 30 seconds.
Press on as the legs are feeling better now, but regret decision to rush breakfast as it tries to return.
6 seconds slower than last year, 1 second faster than my half minute man
.Oh well. Felt lousy and result to match.
