Leinster Champs - 2nd
Solid enough, but a bit scrappy in spots, and a little weaker at the end than I would have liked.
Started a bit slow, evident in the splits, but seemed a bit more respectable in my head, in reality maybe a bit too slow.
Fine through the first few, and felt I was climbing alright, however 2mins down to conor at 4.
Bad route to 7, mainly got stuck in the green and didn't find that ride. Although expected it to be a bit worse.
Solid enough to 8 & 9.
Dropped a lot on 10, a bit scrappy, quite wide, but can't fully justify a minute - not sure.
Silly route & a little scrappy physically to 11 - bad decision going straight affected a little by seeing James faffing on the road while I went to 9, and I wanted to avoid that, but the marsh was a bit brutal.
Fine through most of the next controls, small misses on 12, 16, 19, tried to push on a bit, and shows a little in splits, lacked a little oomph.
Still had the endurance for the end, but just not quite strong enough.
Don't think it was a big thing.
Generally, good race, happy enough.
