The line up looked pretty good for the race, quite a few big names & some triathletes, so i was definitely up for it! However, after only 2 laps there was a lovely crash that happened right infront of me & i narrowly avoided someones head! But it was inevitable with 65 women on that circuit.. & i don't know how the crash really happened seen as it was on an uphill slope & we weren't exactly going mega fast, but the crash managed to neutralize & then stop the race. Then 5 laps later another stop for the ambulance! Great for the legs!
Eventually the race got under way, but we were only given 17 laps to go, not too pleased & with what seemed to be primes every 2 laps, crazy! But it was fast & the attacks came one after another being drawn back each time (just like a youth race!). I sat around the top 10 where it was pretty strung out at times, but i was mostly staying waaaay out of trouble after earlier! With two to go i attacked into the headwind & round the corners, getting a bit of a headway, until i was joined by Jodie Stimpson coming to drag me backwards to the bunch again! :(
Then time for the bunch sprint (something i could do with working on!), wasn't well posistioned in the last corner, but passed quite a few in the sprint coming 20th, which was okay, not great!
