Ras y Gader

Race: Ras y Gader
The less said about this the better. I ended up 30 minutes slower than my 2017 time. I had a reasonable start up to Ty Nant in 20 minutes, then slowed dramatically, really struggling in the hottest weather of the year so far (summit in 1.10, my best is eight minutes quicker). This then became even more disastrous on the descent, where I effectively abandoned the race below the zigzags with an upset stomach. I walked the remainder, until reaching the final tarmac section.
