Woo! 1:10:32
I think that was 87th out of the 100 who finished.
Really really happy with that. (although a sub 1:10 would have felt even sweeter)
Felt really good, bit of a lull at the 17 mile mark where I think I was drifting off with the fairies... then a chap on a fixie powered by I and snapped out of it. Knew the finish was uphill and started winding it up towards the end, but thought it was further to go and didn't give it enough.
Also.... I thought Kent down near ashford was flat. Somewhat undulating course the Q25/8.
