Really enjoyable race on a hilly, muddy course. Reaped the benefits of starting steady by getting tactics just right, as it was obvious after the first lap (1 short, 3 long) where my strengths lay. Went steady on the ups, then just flew past people on the downs with no effort by letting the brakes off over the slippy ground. Others were frankly mincing down like big girls.
Don't quite understand why everyone hated it so much, but not complaining as I was 83rd compared with 99th in much better running shape in my outing last year.
