Fell Race (Blaise Blazer) 22:28 [3] 5.8 km (3:52 / km) +142m 3:27 / km
More of a multi-terrain race. No Felix or Adam but Tim and Stu Lynch were there.
Set off nicely with the main aim of not starting too fast, which I executed perfectly. Was nice and competitive with about five of us close together down and up the hairpins. Just stayed on Tim's shoulder along the road but wanted to be in front for the little descent into the field so we had a little fun sprint-off. Was feeling good so put a little spurt on through the grass to test us out.
Wasn't too sure where a good place to try and make a break would be as I knew the run through the main field and the final climb were long enough for a counter-attack. Stayed together along the bottom. Tim didn't sound comfortable and broke going up dynamite so I put some extra effort on the final part to make the most of the situation. Felt quite good round the field and along the wooded traversing track if a little slower through the main field and up the last climb but had enough of a gap for the win (known from looking round a lot). [1st / 22.28 / -24s]
Really good fun head-to-head race. A PB and the fastest time since 2011. Sub-22 would be good target for next time. Might have a go at the Parkrun at the weekend.
