Start counting and watching the guys come past. Small group. No body in my kit. Look back and there's a huge gap to the rest of the field. So I gather what I've got left and end up 4th. No doubt in my mind I could have won the race. During the debrief he said he wasn't feeling good the whole race.
Would have been nice to know.
