Wasn't feeling great before the start, not enough sleep and legs still tired from Wednesday's race. Just wanted to try my best for the day and enjoy it. Got a bit boxed in at the narrow start but worked my way back a bit on the first lap. Legs didn't feel amazing but kept trying to push and wasn't doing too badly. 4 lap races are never fun so was trying not to overthink how much there was to go.
Pushed on a bit without about a K to go and felt like I was progressing. Overtook a few people before putting in a sprint finish with another Southampton guy. Another decent race and happy with my result in a quality field. Hopefully will build on this the rest of the season.

Goal for the race was to be near the fastest OS and enjoy some racing (before Saturday's HCXL). Legs were feeling good and I was feeling up for it. Race plan was to start steady and build on it, especially trying to hold on the hills to then attack after. For the first two laps had a little race with leading lady ultrarunner Jo Meek who was beating me on the descents.
Started to push a bit on the 3rd lap, trying to stick with the guys ahead. Overtook one on the steep hill halfway round the lap and pushed on to overtook another. One of them attacked my shoulder on the long finish descent but held him off and put in a burst.
Really chuffed with fastest OS and 12th overall. 2 years ago I was 8th fastest OS behind 65 year old Mick and 55th overall! Chatted with a random guy in the park who was inspired to try running after seeing us, told him about parkrun and couch to 5km plans and got inspired too!
Need to work on my descending skills, would love to be able to drop quickly and confidently.

Taking it a bit easier and doing less pre X-Country tomorrow. Legs felt alright and felt like I could've easily continued.The track was pretty busy and we were running from the top of the bend.
