Thanks mate, nope.

never actually done a road race, iv been a runner all my life. started cycling to protect my knee's. but havent been able to get on the road due to a shoulder injury following a car acident. the turbo (3-4hrs on that gets rather boring at time) has kept me in good shape, been on the road the last 5 weeks riding faster than before, so fitter, stronger then before, so hopefully a good sesson to come next year.
