Quite amazed at the level of interest in this one. Slightly ashamed that I didn't actually run it, despite having a number. I could blather on about injuries and training complications but in truth it came down to either my wife or I would miss the event to look after the kids (our "sitter" pulled out of the trip a few months earlier).
Given I've had all the attention this year with the FWC, AdH time trial and Etape it seemed only right that 'er indoors should get the gig. She did us proud with a painful, but satisfying 4:47 (which is also a PB). I'll be posting her account of what turned out to be an amazing day (and trip to the Big Apple) at a later date (i.e. when she has written it). The photies look pretty good too.
I'm busy planning this season and getting those UK sportives booked up ... I'm definitely back for the '08 season and raring to get cracking.
