It was great to be tanking along the flatter sections, but I felt I wasn't really making much headway uphill.
A guy called Nathan won in about 2h45m with someone called Terry not that far behind. There was then a gap of about 10-15 minutes to the next pair.
I had to totally leg it along Seaton esplanade (packed with people - not all supporting the race, but the tourists seemed interested) to pip in just under 3 hours.
Good to see a CVFR shirt in the top 10!
