SYXCL event 1 @ Spinkhall, Mount St Mary's College - 15th (ish).
Feeling good and been looking forward to this! Fast start although it felt pretty slow, after the first mile the pace was pretty consistent. Calf was a bit tight but I already knew about this but on the last 2 laps it was annoying and I felt like it was holding me back.
Just under 2 minutes down on the winner Steve Bayton with Bertie only a few seconds behind. Mycroft in 3rd and only 1 minute down on him and then a load of Uni guys within 40-20 seconds infront of me which I recoken I would have had without a tight calf.
Think I was 15th in the end a big improvement on last year and 9th Uni counter, showing how strong the team is this year even with a few of the good guys missing today! Hallam got smashed! Whoever gets in BUCS A team will have thoroughly deserved it!
Good first XC of the season and more to come!
Miles: 5.16, 5.53, 5.59, 5.49 and 5.57.
