Sort of pleased with this .. but not
Went well enough on the long track out and was where I kind of wanted to be with usual folk ahead and behind. Kept SaraH in sight all the way up to the trig and just about caught her at the foot of the second, and rougher, climb. She probably had 5s on me at the top but that's when a really bad stitch set in. HazelW went past whilst I was barely moving, but soon after the stitch wore off so spent the whole of the long track on the way back trying to catch her...and failing. Think it probably cost me a minute judging from respective speeds through kilometres 6, 7 and 8.
Don't usually get stitches.
