Took this as a bit of fun really, tucked in behind James and Ali to begin with, nice and comfortable. Wasn't expecting the hill to be quite so steep but worked up it well even though a fair few people came past. They were then instantly dropped and our little group found a decent rhythm I think. Didn't find the undulations too bad and was enjoying doing a road race for a change with some cool support on the course. Moved to the front of our mini pack feeling quite comfortable despite the winds best efforts. Got a bad stitch and went through a bad patch, Ali came through me so thought that could be the start of a decline but got back to a better feel. Managed to close down James as well to take 3rd place and earn a profit. Pleased to at least feel relatively decent in the legs, was less grim than expected.
Great bit of fun and cool race, very friendly club as well and quality selection of post race food.
