Notes
90% humidity, 28 degrees and sunny. Sweating heavily at the start after the warm up. Couldn't run the hill, again, so lost ground there, and struggled on the last flat stretch. 100% effort of course but not quite the result I wanted.
Update: though I struggled on the second half (at least I was working very hard) I made up ground on most of my competitors and think I can beat them on a less hilly course.
