Ran second leg for the men of steel. Douglas "dispels the myth that you have to be lightning to be good at first leg" Tullie came back first a bit ahead of Coombs. I was planning for a hard chase and wasn't really expecting to see Coombs but just maintain or shorten the gap. Caught him at one looking for a pit then we had a llittle battle until he had a slightly shorter gaffle and got away. I nearly caught him back up on one of the climbs but never quite got on his tail. Was cautious round the last loop making sure no mistakes and right descriptions which meant i lost time to Coombs but i was confident that it wouldn't be a huge lead. James looked uncatchable through the spectators and had increased his lead on Markus but Edinburgh started their celebrations too early. Markus caught James after a mistake and passed him after another.

I think most people were surprised by the quality of the weekend, great little areas, good courses, good social - Sheffield mate.

C • Sounds like a top weekend 2

Warm up then finding my watch that broke after i fell over in the warm down.

After waiting for people to finish (a long time) i collected in some controls again. I was given 9 controls all close together but jogging back up that hill one more time i realised how wrecked i was. 9 controls seemed like a ton heavier than 8 yesterday.
