Drogo 10. First attempt at a race for a while. Start at the castle then then dropped down along some tracks to the bottom of the valley. Route followed the river for a couple of miles up the river along an undulating track. Just off the back of the leading group at this point then started going up the first hill and this is where I started dropping back a little. Once at the top had a short descent onto another track that ran about halfway up the hill then started to climb again. Once at the top of this one had a fun descent down to the river again. I was running quite well along the bottom of the valley back towards the castle. Crossed the river at a stone bridge then started climbing again. Suffered on this climb and someone when past me luckily. Once at the top came on to a slightly undulating track along the edge of the valley and I managed to over take the guy that had got me on the hill.
Need to lose some wait again, struggling up the hills. I was running quite well along the flats and on the downhill.
