Warm up with Ben - up a lot of the hill and back down, then out towards the castle as had plenty of time left. Most of it GPSed.

A nice race route executed incredibly badly - with no stamina, then significant breathing problems leading to having to walk long sections, and stitch later on. Really wanted to retire after the second climb. Ended 35th/96, and well over 4 mins and 20 places behind where I should have been.

Without doubt my worst racing performance ever. After several days of feeling really crap don’t want to end up beating myself up over this too, but almost certainly will :-(

Think the breathing problem could be asthma. Amount of second hand smoke from parents was considerable and used to be short of breath climbing stairs as a child.
