Time/Position: 39.03 (16th from 178 [2nd V50])
Still the race I have done most often (it is now 19 years since my debut) and this was by far my worst ever time and finishing position. Inevitable, really, given yesterday's 10k, which itself felt like an effort too far. The time was lost on the climb today: after a quick initial plunge I really struggled and was a couple of minutes down on my usual ascent pace. The final push was pretty desperate, although I revived a little for the descent - just under 14 minutes to the road. Dreadful haul up the road, although didn't lose any more places. Failed to retain the Llys Fynydd V50 shield, unsurprisingly.
