Well two stages down one to go.
Day one
The circuit race. It was an 18mile loop. The course profile was mostly downhill for about 5 miles then a moderate climb for a few miles then sharp decent followed by some more false flat and slight downhill. My start was at 1:25. Right in time for the rain. It was a nice light rain for the first lap but since the first part of the race was basically a slight downhill it was difficult to warm up. Since Audrey had raced before she quickly told me about the course and what to look out for. After I crossed the narrow bridge the first lap i noticed the "5k to K/QOM" sign. I looked at my computer and we were doing around 25mph up the climb. Needless to say the whole race was FAST. The next three laps played out the same. Fast. The last 2k of the race was a bit sketchy. Everyone was trying to move up and it was getting faster. I found myself in the top 25 or so on the left side of the pack. At 500meters it got bad. There was a big crash right on my left side. I was able to stay upright but got slowed down quite a bit and ended up in the top 30.
Day Two
The TT
Will update shortly with results
