Event: ShUOC Chasing Sprint
 

Thought I might be able to catch Chris if he made a mistake first. I did though at 6 and lost sight of him. Wrong routechoice into the canal basin and started to slow down. Tim Tett was getting closer and closer though so put a bit more effort in for the last few to remain second.

Was wanting to do well but hadn't given the race too much though. A bit scrappy on the the routechoice early on and forgot to read the control descriptions but settled down by no.4. Felt good to five. Kept the pace high round the upper part with lots of repeat running but slowed up the hill to twelve. Alright to the finish. +33s on former-local Chris Smithard.

Not exercised for ages. Just wanted run fast. Raced cars up Whiteladies then pretty pacy alongside Westbury road. Lost it a bit round the edge of the Downs and did some walking. A little pain above the left knee and halfway up the inside of the left calf, think it's probably from increasing my training too much (felt it a little at the weekend). Because of that walked across Clifton/Cliftonwood to Brandon Hill. 3x Brandon Hill reps from the primary school trying to let go a bit more on the descent each time which happened. More very fast car racing back up to home. Lungs very good, legs okay.
