Richmond Park time difference

I was just wondering what the general time difference between going clockwise or ant-clockwise was.
I'm currently going at a very slobbish 68 minutes for a three lap run clockwise as I actually enjoy broomfield hill I prefer this way but see that most three lap runs are anti-clock.

I'm very aware of why I train and don't need a patronising answer.
(Best three laps anti 58:30).
My times are pretty even either way, but as I ride anti clockwise more often I'm more likely to hit perfect conditions. On average I'm about 30 seconds slower clockwise.
I should imagine also the different directions would have a slowing effect by whats in the route to deal with. Going anti, you have the climb up from Kingston gate, but at Broomfield get a longish drop down where you don't have to slow down much and can extend that out.
Going back the other way the benefit isn't quite there, sure enough a climb up Broomfield, but the drop down to Kingston gate is cut short by the roundabout at the bottom and the hard turn so you don't get the reward back to the same degree as the run down Broomfield.
Not quite swings and roundabouts?
But significantly influenced by traffic at the roundabouts.
In the original post I do indicate that I have been doing the RP loop. I simply wanted a rough comparison to the anti-clock route to gauge my comparative fitness and to see if I was on track with my training. By having achievable goals I find it gives me a target to aim for and makes me put in the extra effort required.
