Yorkshire 6 stage road relays, 1st team, 1st leg.
Team 2nd overall, leg position 7th.
Volunteered for first leg as I had a 92nd birthday party to attend and so had to head off straight after finishing. Was a little apprehensive as this was my first proper road race for a long time. The course was two laps of the Lord Mayors 10k route. Went hard from the start and then just tried to hang on.
I was pleased with my run, and pleasantly surprised with how my time compared to the other team members given the recent focus of my training. Running first leg most definitely helped.
Tom Bains moved us up from 7th to 3rd on second leg, Andy C took us to 2nd after leg 3 and that's how it stayed. Holmfirth led right from the gun.
