Does it still count as XC if you wear your road shoes?
Surrey XC League #1 - Richmond Park
Started out pretty quick just behind the front. Felt comfortable here but climbing back up towards Sidmouth Wood Kevin Quinn (SLH) stormed off and I couldn't get onto the back on the chase group, sitting about 10 metres off the back of them. On the second lap, Phil Seassman (KEN) got a clear gap for second place, Jon Pepper (RAN) was in third, and I was left battling Luke Caldwell (DMV) for fourth.
We swapped the lead a few times but neither of us ever made a gap until the final corner where my sprint finish just proved to be fractionally stronger.
Ranelagh probably third in this fixture which is a great start to the season.
Good hit out for me, felt very solid and happy with the pace I was at.

Felt a really odd twinge in my achilles yesterday, and it continued to feel odd at work. Opted to stick on the big ski tracks for most of the run to give a level surface, achilles fine.
