Went across to the Phillip Russell mem RR at Stoksley on a dry but exposed and windy day.Expectations were not high after having not trained all week due to illness .This course has a longish drag up to the exposed top with a cross wind with the rest of it being rolling..55 MILES .Attacks started from the off and i tried to get away on the climb but everything was brought back.Felt alot better than expected and stayed near the front for most of the race except when it mattered.The last lap was pretty hairy and i went into the last corner about 20th so not ideal with the finish half way up the climb.Got up a few places but just outside top 10.Really annoyed that i was not better placed into last corner but some risks are not worth it and finished a couple of seconds behind .cheers .Hope everyone else finished ok.
