Really pleased with myself that I actually managed to pull out an alright run for this weekend! Esp as I wasnt really feeling it after driving through a snow storm and a bit of a nervous rush to get there all to find out I didn't even have a full team anymore!
Went out in 6th seconds behind Katie and Laura and managed to hold them for about 6 controls and then stick with them to 13, then just lost pace coming back up the hill... turns out they had a blunder at 14 and I came up the hill slower but clean so managed to gain two places and finish in 4th... with no one to hand over too and a sad wave (not really) from Ais on our first team still waiting for Laura! Think there was only one control that I didn't spike today!
For those that weren't there... it was an absolute grim mud bath today in and out of the arena... if you havn't already heard! This was a totally new experience to me.... snow is better
Had such a fun weekend... despite not thinking much of the sprint I thought the last 3 days were well set courses and I'm sad its over! It has been a small wake up call that I really cant coast by on average training and hammering myself at work if I want to pull some decent runs occasionally! Need to find a bit of focus. So that's some food for thought...
