Chevin Chase
Decided early Autumn I would target this race. Wanted to give the Brownlees a bit more of a race than last year.
However no Brownlees this year...
After about 500m I was alone. I got about 15s ahead (based on when the crowds were cheering behind me) for the next 8km. Ran hard but didn't quite have the race feeling. Still feeling fairly good when I got to the bottom of the steepest climb up to Surprise View. Bit of a corner there and saw the 2 guys behind, thought one off them was Jack (it wasn't but didn't realise till end). Climb was hard but not suffering quite as much as last year. More of a gap by the time I turned off the top road onto track back down towards Guiseley. Looked at watch as came off track and thought a reasonable time was on so pushed hard down the hill to the end.
Bit surprised with the time (1.30 quicker than last year) given how race panned out but rest in last week must have helped. Wetter than last year but wind on top road was bad last year. Still think this year's fitness in last year's race would have allowed me to keep up a lot longer.
