Standard warm up then raging cool down with Kara. Very aware lots of people would love to run the time I did but disappointing to travel to race when I could have knocked out a solo time trail quicker. 2019-2020 season over and out. Not the planned ending but still managed a PB in a crazy year so can take a lot of positives.

Finally race with Kara, finished 23 seconds behind her (aim within 30) but the headwind from halfway, think Edinburgh Park Run, ruined any chance of a good time. Absolute fighting grind (couldn't even run a 4min km!! 3:23s with ease on Tue!), no where to hide on an airfield/time trial format. She's run 17:22/me 17:53 recently, sessions showed we were in shape. Everyone slow (fastest lady only 18:01). Pleased to have each other or there'd probably have been tears. Should say it was great to be racing as we can't control the weather but we were so unlucky as it was actually calm in Edinburgh for once! Kudos to Calum for putting up with our moaning and wise words/reassurance that we are still in shape. Another good session banked if nothing else.
