Initially started off at ok pace, bit erratic with my technique though & wasn’t relaxed at all (maybe a bit nervous about the race). Forgot to start my Garmin (approx 3mins into the event) strait away :-( Dropped of the pace on lap 1 & ended up virtually riding on my own for the entire event. Stopped to give help Michael with puncture on lap 1. Had issues with my right foot as found out that the metatarsal insert had moved which meant I wasn’t peddling efficiently. Stopped to relieve pain from foot on second lap. Had a few issues with route as couple of markers had been destroyed & tape removed by locals…. Grrrr (had route issues in 3 places). Messed up with my water, or should I say lack of it… school boy error. Finished 6th overall & 1st in Masters category.
