2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted June 15, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Vets national at Falkirk yesterday kicked off at 10am in rain and 7c temp which was pretty grim. Dried out by the end though. It was 7 laps of a 9 mile circuit with a couple of miles run to finish, there was a short but steep climb each lap. Race was fast and steady with my average for 70 miles being 25mph including A few miles before and after. Break of 4 did a great job but ultimately got caught with about 10 miles to go. There were about 45 left for a bunch sprint with a drag up over the motorway with 1km to go. This was my undoing as body started to malfunction half way up the drag and I just could not get towards the front and finished 32nd in the midst of the large bunch spread across the road. Good to be part of it all, not good to be so far down but c'est la vie. Need to review training I think as struggling in road races this year.

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted June 16, 2015 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Well done Paul. Sounds as though it was a tough fast day. At least you hung in there, and avoided the crashes - I read the race was stopped for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
