Actually, no - it was just the normal set up, enough info on the PM5 if I looked at it - but I chose not to. Why? Because I had to just race against me. I could only do what my body would let me do, and if I'd have spotted how close No.5 was to me, I'd either have over-egged the pudding, and blown up, or found it too much of a struggle to stay ahead (mentally) and maybe dropped off. So I just went for a pace I could just hold on to for the first 1500, then kept my rate around the same but just pulled a lot harder for the last 500m.
I finally got round to checking out the telemetry on the C2 website, and it looks like it was around 600m to go I increased it. But hitting the replay button and watching how close it was, especially towards the end - I think I made the right decision about not looking at my standing!
Someone in the crowd took a great angle of the entire race, which is quite interesting to watch, (I've already posted it in the alalysis thread, but as this is kinda like my diary of the event, I thought I'd add it here too).
