Howth IMRA.
Started much better than last year good position for the climb. Too good and I was dying by the time I hit the top. The second steep climb destroyed me and my lungs and throat were burning with the cold as well. Hung on in there, could see ColmM and was thinking about staying with them. Came under pressure on the downhill which was surprising and Ben Mangan came past on the flat. Died again on the steep hill and just kind of sat in for the last lap. Pushed the finish descent though to pick up two positions on the descent. Throat and lungs in serious trouble after. Felt a bit asthma'y really but it seems to have been a common enough conplaint.
Fell at some point on the second lap. It was quite dramatic and I got a "oh Jesus" from someone I was lapping. Nice duck and roll and I didn't lose any ground. However the knee was a bit sore.
1 minute slower than last year. I was faster up the first hill this year. On the second lap my speed up the second hill was where I basically lost all of the time. I was a little slower on the down after banging me knee too.
