16\09\17 - Team Swift (slowest 120 men) V718 10 mile TT

With a choice of events, either on the A63 (Hull - V718) or the A11 (Six Mile Bottom - E2), I went for the former as I'd done the E2 many times (never quickly) but had only been to South Cave once before.  The weather was not good as I made my way north.  What I hadn't realised (in the car) was the strength of the wind.  Got there to hear various tales of woe from the early starters about the rain, the difficult return into the wind etc. etc.  My turn came and I started in dry conditions but met the rain after about 3 miles.  The outward bound was just over 4 miles (wind assisted) with the remainder into the conditions but I didn't find it half as bad as I had been led to believe.  However there was no excuse for getting it wrong at the turn - by forgetting it's two RBTs.  I went around the first one twice thus adding about 15 seconds to my time (what a Wally!).  Got back in 23:55.  PW.
