Nearly the perfect race for me apart from getting out sprinted by an even lighter lightweight at the end ,When I saw his oranges numbers pop up I knew I was doomed as I was dying . Managed to gap Andy over both climbs and had company on the descent so he had to put in some effort to catch us ,downhills are my weakness , then on the last climb the real lightweight went but I could follow ,put a 2 sec gap into him going round the corkscrew but he kicked hard up the last ramp and I was toast ,🥈 place not too bad .
Another race I can compare efforts from Jan ,17 secs quicker overall and prs on both climbs , how much is that down to riding a gravel bike last time or fitness gains I don't know , I think mainly fitness
Hope it's not put too much of a downer on your birthday Andy 🎉🎂
