1:15:00 launched my final attack with around 5km to go. Was in a group of 6. Plan was for maybe 1 or 2 riders to jump on my wheel so that we could work together. No one joined me.
Was a little hesitant in my attack for the first 90 secs or so which is why I slowed down / coasted several times. I didn't want to just burn out and then the group pass me, so I gradually built up a distance from everyone until i felt safe to put the power down hard.
1:20:25 Ironsan73 and I work together and move away from the chase group 1:20:42 I indicate that I am about to increase the intensity as we only have 650m to go. I don't want a large group sprint finish . Fortunately he understood.
1:21:04 really pushing things now. We have made 70m on the chase group . just over 400m to go
1:21:13 starting to gain more of a lead on ironsan73 . i am increasing power whilst he is dropping. hestill has a good lead on the chase group so shouldn't worry too much
