FRAs nav leg with ali
had been a little concerned about this as had bumped up to first team and knew ali had been running well and my training of late has been week. anyway we were set off in a very solid 4th, we took the first hill pretty easy, we could see the other teams in front and slowly just reeled them in (well 2 of them at least) really just following there routes. we caught merci at 3 and could see Keswick from 4, we pretty much just kept the gaps the same to the finish just trying to keep pace with the other teams. so we came back in 3rd and alex put in a top effort to pull us up to 2nd.
overall really happy surprised to feel so strong was particularly happy with hill legs. most importantly tho was getting to part of that team which was such an awesome experience.
