(Decent consistency, 2016 was 44:16 for 75th of 346, 2014 was 45:03 for 73rd of 310)
First time since 2016. And much more of a struggle than that year, almost two mins slower on the ascent, although I did descend better today...heavier this year! Headwind today, plus maybe 30s longer ascent route with the new one-way loop after the marsh crossing, but mostly just really toiling and not at all recovered from the weekend.
Knew it was going to be a struggle when I was losing ground to everyone on the run along the edge of the campus on the way out - Ben was just ahead here but pulled away steadily and increasingly easily on the ascent. Claire passed me on the final part of the climb which gave me an incentive for the descent. Gradually got going as the descent progressed and started to close the gap - then familiarity with the two steep/technical sections at the end of the wood got me a bit nearer. Then Claire gave the game away by looking over her shoulder a few times so I managed to close up and get past on the final gradual drag up along the edge of the campus.
Ascent 28:54; descent 16:07. Jase just behind at the top and still pretty close at the finish - I never saw him at all!
Results not yet out but approx times ahead were Ross 41:50, Rog 42:40, Ben 43ish, Grace 43:15.

Leg two, went out about ten mins or so down in 6th. Very scrappy run with small miss(wrong block) at #1 then a bigger one at #2, couldn’t initially find pit at #6, didn’t see mtb track special purple symbol en route to #14 so almost two mins gone failing to work out I had stopped a path short, then at the end went to wrong flag initially at both #15 & #16.
35mins would have been okay and anything better would have been good. 39mins was not good!
Inevitably, just like virtually every other race this year, Ben ran a time within seconds of my time, and we ended up 6th. The Rog-Jase-Will team was second behind SYO. One of four silver medal teams today (Open, M18, MW70 were the others).
