Why have I got pre-race nerves?
It'll be that target on your back ... and that everyone will be watching you ... and trying to mark your every move ....
No pressure
My work has told me to go to bed as I look and sound so rough ... I may be logging off early, heading to chemist to pick up some lemsip (is that a banned substance?)

Lemsip Max has pseudoephedrine, which some sports don't allow. Not sure about cycling.
Also, interestingly there's been a recent 'scare' about it

I knew it! He's juicing!
I just got off the bike, having cycled up the Innsbruck KOM from both directions. I need some glucose drip!

I should have read that BEFORE heading to Tesco ... that's exactly what I bought
Only on the UCI banned list IS you have more than 150ug. Basically a LOT of Lemsip.
And I'm sat at Derby velodrome wondering if you can OD on Lemsip ...

Out? I like to think I’m in the race and indoor as well.
Maybe they are inside out...you know inside and out....never mind.
Well done @Brusgaard ,I didn't expect you to go early

Turned inside out anyway @JuhaL !
That was fun, Tim breaking away on the hill after Alan tested everyone legs, then @Peter Salt and @Whorty pleading for a steady pace - I thought he was too far away but the descent meant we could supertuck away a lot of the deficit then it was burst and sprint whilst watching @CXRAndy slowly bring down the distance.

Table so far:
My aim was to make up the deficit I'd got by missing the Tiny races (1:35 to Chris, 1:50 to Phil) and that meant I knew I had to stay with the front pack for as long as I could. That plan lasted until the first attack went off and left me behind! However I plugged away and managed to catch back on about two minutes later having burned all my matches in the process. Second attack I didn't even try but it dropped two others I could ride with until it got hilly at least.
Alex caught me on the descent from Titans, then got away from me with Alan as we left the underwater tunnel, but I managed to catch back up to them with 2km to go - not quite sure how, as I wasn't trying to; was just keeping a steady pace through the desert.
