A cold and windy afternoon for the SCCU sporting 10 meant I recorded a personal worst of 27:52 for the G10/46 course. My excuse was a mid-week blood donation leaving me feeling drained. Next time I'll ask them to put some more in.
Paul Tunnel and Rob Royle-Evatt also had valid excuses for their times of 29:51 and 30:25 (Paul was riding 72" fixed, and Rob's race bike was broken so he was riding an old bike and had a mechanical).
Andrew Green was 3 seconds slower than me. Don't know what his excuse was.
No excuses needed for Keith Lea who came 4th in 23:31. Chapeau!
