tough hot day out
off the front early on with a bigger group rolling through well but pace a bit low to get away that early and we were caught about 5k before the finish. but counter goes soon after an i follow. This established the break of the day 4 of us pushing hard and with the help of my team we get a good gap. First prime i got caught off guard when the line was closer than i thought. Rolled through well next lap pushed out to a min 130 gap at one point, next prime im ready and take it quite comfortably. next lap we are bridged to by 2/3 others and they get straight to pushing the pace up. Stuggling alot in the heat but stick to my strengths, get enough rest but miss out on this prime. I sit up too much and let a gap go and end up chasing for a few minutes to get back on.  pace staying up and i take the next prime but let the gap go again like an idiot, chase back on again. Next lap towards the finish we get told that the gap is down to 30/40 seconds, decide that i go for the prime again and can be happy to rest up for a bunch finish. gap stays and moves out a bit so see this going to the finish. take the last prime and final lap arrives. Still working together with mixed missed turns for all but all in for this break. Some games played turning onto the main road, 5 ish k to go, kept a poker face but wasnt going to go long. Turns to can and mouse in the last 2k  which im fine with. 2 team mates attempt a leadout but another sends his sprint first. im straight on it comming round with alot of speed but i shouldnt have let slower sprinters infront of me. 2nd on the day and 1st on GC.
Tomorrow we go again
