Cycling warm up/down 28:00 [2] 8.0 mi (3:30 / mi) +100m 3:22 / mi
shoes: Giant A1
Was meant to be a 10 mile TT Open race on H10/8 course. The wind was 2 mph,so ideal for a SB. Unfortunately a rider was hit by a car, on the way to the start, only 100m before the finish line, where the DC narrows to one lane, leaving the organisers to slow the traffic and finishing riders onto the chevrons. 20 mins later, after the ambulances and police arrived, the starts were stopped, with the last third of the starters unable to start. Sickening feeling and glad the organisers did the right thing safety wise. One rider couldn't understand the decision, despite knowing most of the facts- cycling in particular takes all sorts! I did my best to explain the organisers had little choice, as the risk of a further accident was unreasonably high.
