Sent out in first and knew my job was going to be tricky with some dropped time on a couple of other legs and with my knee and level of fitness it was going to be tough.
Started pretty well, no mistakes and running ok, but maybe running a little carefully. Slowed a bit in the top forest cautious because of my knee. Scrappy through 14-18 but no big misses. Felt god awful from spectator, nearly being sick I think due to the shock to the system of pushing hard when running after my time off, and with Ali closing in on me had to give it my all in order to hold on.
OD win by 2 seconds, if I'd been fitter I'd like to think I wouldn't have seen Ali but to be honest I'm just happy to be able to run a course like this at some level on intensity and it also means I'm able to get back to training a bit now.
