National 12 Stage Leg11
Got asked whether I'd mind running a long leg and much to my despair, I got one.
Set off just in the Mass Start and settled in on the first half and felt pretty decent. Gradually slipping backwards from the pack at about 2.5km, rallied a little at the start of the out and back and was in a group of 4 before they pulled away a little on the climb back up to the Jubilee Stone and couldn't push much harder on the down back. Tried to relax a little on the second last rise closing toward Pontyprydd before seeing Willy and Duncan but couldn't get any closer.
Started in 37th and finished in 39th, Team finished 40th.
