Disappointed. Not with race, which was excellent, but with time, which was a minute and a quarter slower than last time! Just wasn't sure at the start, so decided to go easy and pick it up later. As a result I was a bit hemmed in for the climb through the trees and never had a good view of the (very) rough path ahead. The descent was the same, and I suspect most of my time loss was here. Got going a bit on the road and watched CW coming back to me, but Steve had a huge lead and I could only just see him here and there. Actually felt alright, and even quite strong near the end, but was beaten by many I normally beat. Won't get 9 points. Need to get weight off and work on speed before Oxford or I'll just get disillusioned.

Timed myself both ways, 34 mins out, 35 back. Must be getting slower?
