Teering race (Xmas 5 Days) 52:13 [4] 5.3 km (9:51 / km)
Long Swamp. Mass start. Terrible to 1, got on back of large pack. Slow up hill to 2 and 5. Nearly took lead at 4, but went too low. Hung back after that, pack overshot 8 so I caught up again. Outpaced on next leg, and was 7th just ahead of Melissa Thomas on the big hill. Hit front at the top but missed to the west, 4th into 9. Back to 2nd even after head first fall near 10. Launched sprint on downhill, but passed by Anna Danielsson. Then she missed 12 and I won from Simon Goddard and Jo Allison. Cath slow to 1, never in the pack after that.
