After warming up early on Sunday morning before the 9 O'clock start I headed to the start line, I was on the front row which would help with my start and how the race panned out for me.
I had a good start and was sitting around 5th going under the start/finish banner but I quickly noticed that my legs just couldn't keep the pace like usual and I spent the whole race going backwards from then on in, the race quickly split up with riders racing ahead at the front of the race and I was hoping that my legs would come around sooner rather than later, as people came past me throughout the 4 laps I found myself not being able to stay with them on the short sharp climbs like I usually could and I just wasn't able to attack over the top of climbs as normal, after a really hard race I finished 14th, defiantly not the result I wanted from national champs but I guess my legs can't always be there at every race,it was just a shame the weren't there for this race and just felt empty, hopefully they will be back on top form for my first major road race out in Belgium riding for wales in a couple of weeks.
