So i didn't start the day very well, as my alarm failed to go off at 5.45am and so Dad walked in at 6.15, telling me i had 10 minutes to get out the house! So i was pretty much buzzing by the time i was in the car, listening to Radio 1's big weekend & seeing the sun for a change; the day was definitely looking good.We arrived with enough time to drive and ride the course, which was looking quite fast. Long stretches of the A46, then a bit of an uphill drag, then a downhill blast for the finish.

I was pretty banging by the time i rolled down to the start and basically just gave it all i had! The course wasn't as flat as i thought either, and we seemed to have a headwind most of the way, but the last section was the best, although i could have done with a few more gears bouncing around on my junior ones.
Oh it was sunny! I was majorly hot by the end of all this & hoping i'd got some sort of tan line for my effort. I rolled back to HQ to find my time was missing, but eventually about 20 minutes later it appeared, 23:24. Pretty happy with it really, and puts me 3rd out of the Junior Women, so a good day in the end, maybe i should wake up later more often...
