Time/Position: 38.02 (24th from 554 [3rd V50])
Slowest time at this race since the first time I did it, which was on its 10th anniversary 20 years ago! This was disappointing, and can only be partially explained by tricky conditions including a fierce southerly headwind just at the point you can normally start to relax down to the West Shore. That wind was a help initially, and I went quite well up to the final climb, which is always very tough (the race has a good 600ft of climbing, so will never be especially fast). I was making up some ground on a group ahead, but then lost time on the descent before recovering a little for the run-in up Church Walks and down the Prom.
