Started well & got away at the front in a group of 5 of us, dropped off a few times, however managed to get back to the group (technically & shallow gradient change felt good, however was lacking in Power/Climbing). Dropped off the back of the group at Jebal Jibir, however closed back up within the first 5km of second lap, maintained the distance for short loop, then unfortunately got a puncture (tyre sealant was dry, spare tube was faulty), eventually borrowed a spare tube, just as Frenchie arrived with a spare wheel. Got sorted & finished the finally 30km chasing down as many as I could. Had an issue with 1 of the brakes, became spongy, however didn’t really effect my time as just had to change my decision making a little. Finished 3rd in the Vet Category, 6th overall. Pleased with my riding overall, just gutted with the technical issues.
