Got out of bed with heavy legs and splitting headaches and was seriously considering a DNS today. Once at the racecourse the late summer lunchtime heat was really getting at me, was feeling absolutely not ready for racing. That didn't change all race, basically my HR stayed above FTP HR all race long. Additionally, racing together with the 40+ year-olds and the U19 made the race rather chaotic and sketchy at times. In the end, it was in 8th place overall, but a bronze medal in my age group 50-60.
