Onto the start line and only 10 minutes to go. When I applied I clearly hadn’t looked at previous times or had not felt very confident as I had positioned myself in the 4-4:30 time slot, meaning i was probably a good 250/300 riders back from the start, not ideal… However what was ideal, was that the sun had just come out, the rain jacket came off, stuffed in my pocket.
