Road bike warm up/down 20:00 [2]
Wu/ wd
Road bike race 1:27:08 [4]
55.35km, 470m, 38.1km/h
"Dig in and rock on" road race - grampian road series #1
Top 10, maybe 9th 8th or 10th, not sure
Got late entry so didn't get sent the race hand book so turned up, didn't know how far it was, where the finish was or anything really.
Started and got barged back to near the back of the pack (need to work on holding my place) hit the hill first lap and basically overtook the whole field and got myself into the top 5 , just aswell because a pack of about 12 of us split of and made a break, was just us working well mostly for the rest of the race.
There were a few people who put in attacks and was feeling good so was keen to get in a smaller break as I knew I wouldn't be much use in the sprint, sadly I just didn't have the explosive power so every time I tried to reach the breakers I just dragged the whole group along with me in my slip stream.
Eventually we got round to the end and not knowing the route I thought it was just another break trying to get away so tried to close it down but didn't burn myself by any means, turned out it was people sprinting for the finish.
Happy enough with this given circumstances, alot to be worked on tho, and knowing the course would help. And by no means dead by the end
