Notes
This was hard but good fun. The opening 4kms were all uphill except one small section, and I was slow but reasonably effective in going up. All was good coming down as I gradually increased my pace, but there was a short uphill and flat bit in KM8 where I slowed down and which ultimately cost me a 46 minute race. Luckily I picked up again and managed to finish quite fast. All in all, a tough race but I did ok and aside from one short bit felt decent all the way round.
