Was pretty excited for this - an opportunity to get back on track on a course I rate! Started easy and then upped it on the second lap. Perhaps pushed a little to hard once I had a small gap as Jack, Max and Elisha were still close behind and in a pretty strong chasing pack. Tried to shake them off but everyone was still right there - I knew that I’d been shifting better on the gravel path than the softer grass so tried to make sure I still was a little ahead and then tried to empty myself once onto the path. Broke out of the trees and back onto the softer grass with a small gap, absolutely dying but starting to sense that the end was near. One last push and made it to the finish, 4s ahead of James Hoad, 6s ahead of Jack and only a couple more ahead of Max. Damn, that was bloody close.
Team looks in pretty good stead for BUCS this year. Boys are moving very well.
