Ah... I just re-read my race report, and just wanted to add a couple of (short) things...

When I dropped my chain the second time and toppled sideways, I realised after I had finished and was off the bike and standing... well... when I looked at my knee which was a bit sore, I had small gouges and blood trickles and drips down my shin. Shows you the power of surging adrenalin , huh? I had no idea at the time, and it didn't even occur to me to check myself for injuries. Just lucky it was a slow speed topple - I don't wear gloves in a TT!

Also, when I kept pace with the guy past the golf course - I was about 30-35metres behind him, not sitting in drafting... No drafting in ITTs!
