Bit of jogging about then run to start. Quite a climb at the end which was handy as expecting quite a hilly course….

JK2013 Individual Day One, Hambleden.
M45L, 5th place. 1:52 behind 2nd place (Jan Olm just ahead of Alan V) and 7:43 behind James Logue’s outrageous 51:02….
Nearly a really good race. Felt fit and able to push hard, pretty strong on the early climbs.
#8 – no plan leaving #7 meant I climbed slightly when I didn’t need to and went a bit far from the red line (-30s)
#16 – pushed on hard round the NW loop and right in the mix for 2nd leaving #15, just passed the Interlopers duo of Robin Galloway and Colin Eades. Climbed too high and went to the very visible wrong control a bit early, then ran above the correct control and almost on to another wrong control. Engaged brain enough to look at map and turned round, there it was (- 30s/40s)
#17 – though I had kept control rather than dashing off after error, came past the veg change but then seemed to cross the line feature where it was a path not gully so thought I was a bit high. Came into re-entrant near the top, couldn’t see flag above me do headed down to the visible one below. As I ran down I realised it was further down than I had thought and felt wrong…..it was! Painful hill rep back up three contours to the correct control and a welcome back to the two Interlopers! (-1min 10s)
Strong to the finish although suffering on the last part of the climb on the long leg to #18, had to concede that walking the last 30m would be quicker than continuing to run.
Only those three legs with splits outside the top 10 other than the run-in where I tried my hardest and had the 27th fast split!
