Event: Cats Cracker
 

Cats cracker 3 hour mtbo score Market Harborough. Disappointingly little off road would of been quicker on my road bike only the one field would of been interesting.. First time I have realy suffered from spinning out in an event. No obvious route logging stoped 10km short. Very tight at top 4th but just 1 cp short of Mark. (Make that 5th but still just the one control. Last download beat Mark by 2 points.) Will be interesting to see others routes, Suspect there was better than I did by missing some inner low point ones but I was thinking of clearing which turned out not to be an option. Still not used to gaugeing 1:50000.

Did not see alley straight away to 1 should of come back out to road for 16. 15 8 9 was probably not best. 15 14 11 10 9 is not much further and 30 points more with missing 8. 27 was slow for the points it was further down the far ride of the hill than expected. Did not spot bw by the a14 between 25 and 24 thought was footpath cost some with the extra climb.

26.218km with 994m climb in 2:40:20. Some Dales mtb action with Al and Jake. Easy road warm up and then down I did at Malham event in summer. Then big climb over road a good bit of bottom, more than Al and Jake thanks to better rubber and a lower gear. But still a big push up to the top. Not so hot going down where they had to wait for me a bit. Second climb back over was similar riding bottom hard the a big push. Decent back to the car was really nice.

11.024km with 379m climb in 1:25:48. Out to watch Chevin chase. All very slow which is all I was up for. Forgot painkillers be for going out so painfully coming back up hill at end. Timing for seeing first tuners was spot on with less than 30s to spare.
