I think the forecast bad weather kept people away from Prom this evening, as I somehow managed to win my age category (but had left by the time of the prize giving - a club mate kindly picked me up a bottle of wine, but as I don't drink he can keep it for his kindness - what is it with races giving alcohol as prizes anyway?). I did manage to pull out my fastest time of the series, purely down to race craft in the 30mph winds.
The race is two loops, starting into a headwind, which was fine from the start as there were so many of us. I used the first tailwind section to push on and make sure I had a group in front of me by the turnaround, and tucked in for the full mile and a quarter of headwind. It all broke up a bit on the next tailwind section, so I was pretty much on my own for the last headwind slog home. I'll take it. One more chance for me this series.
