A thing which sobered me a bit - Emma Jones, who was doing most of the
work in the lead group for most of the race, broke her back at about the
same time I broke mine. I've back on the bike for six weeks now, but
there's no way I could ride 100Km at race pace.

Rachel Heal crashed twice, and still went on to finish 5th in the same
time as second place.

But you couldn't before you broke your back, whereas she could...

And she has a much bigger support team.

Only? A bunch of fit young women wearing Lycra and bending over their
handlebars seemed very watchable to me ~
