Giant I saw you in the race was but was too tired to speak.
I got dropped as well. I reckon the av speed for the winners was 40km/h since mine was 38km/h after being dropped.
One of my water bottles came out down the hill before the start/finish line. That is a very rough section even worse than Kooragang at its peak.
I was in the middle of the pack going down that hill. I look up at the bottom and the pack is 500m in front. How did that happen?
So I blew my load trying to catch up with a few others and that was it for me. The rolling hills and hot pace got me.
