I got far too cold before the start and so had trouble getting into a rhythm when I started. I felt that I was between gears and couldn't felt that I was pushing too hard a gear for a lot of the race. I also got cut up on a roundabout by some asshole driver trying to squeeze past me which cost me a good few seconds. For the first half of the course there was a tailwind but on the run in to the finish was a headwind and I was really struggling and couldn't maintain a high enough cadence. Although I PB'd this was mostly due to the tailwind that we had for the first half of the course rather than a good performance. If conditions had been the same as last week I think I would have still been faster but certainly not by over a minute.

Should have worn more clothing to keep warm.

I was too cold at the start.
