8.139km with 373m climb in 1:16:32. British night champs. Great tower wood. I have never actually run here before. Generally ok through controls but way off line for 6 at least 5 mins lost. With James 8 to 12 peering relay but nothing I could do up the easy climb legged to 13. Very lucky at 15 looking to relocate saw q flag and it was mine. Off map I think trying to follow path to 18 and getting beyond it. Fun but disappointingly slow for just the one serious error and that not at the flag.

10.685km with 154m climb in 0:58:23. Bok training the Cottage. 4 tonight with George and Paul joining Tereza. Damp and wind driving over so went opposite way to normal as wind looked to be better that way. Hard start with climb. Went the wrong way down cycle path in the woods looking for the hard surface which worked well, only 1 bike to pass. Pushed on along portway with Paul did not get blown away sp had to keep going. Regretting it for last km as getting stiff. Good job Phil did not show or we would of been put in our places.

30.502km with 702m climb in 1:51:24. final winter 2 hour event. Needed to do well to win league. Looked clearable on first site nothing too far from woods and no controls right at far end. Route not totally obverse.

Down first for 4 then some free style as bw not clear on ground then muddy when visable on and off to male progress to 15. Interesting descent and climb for 8. Missed new route for bw going to 2 but clear on the return. Out and back 9 road for 19 up zig-zags for 18 people going off map here. 3, 12 then pushing up hill and muddy for 5 quick down road 17, 21. Pleased with climb up to 22 fairly sure of clearing from here. Fast 14, 16, 23 nice descent to 2 out and back on road for 7. Young lad starting to push run bw as hit track climb for 1 he was quicker as I went around to staet so followed pushing upper bit. He then went straight over and I did round for 10 came out together. Got in front before 13 but past on the descent from it with big steps I bottled. Could not live with him up hill to 6 but he had not seen box when I got there so punshed infront. Was expecting to chase him to finish but he went somewhere else so by myself to end.

Cleared with 8 mins to spair. Surprised no one else cleared it.

Looking at the splits I should of done 8 at the end between 10 and 13. The route I took to it was not the best anyway only 5th fastest of something like 5... probably lost 3-4 mins.
