Euromeeting long race. Starting very early with the other boys but flowed nicely through the early stuff until 7 where I lost quite a lot of time on the long leg. Mistake on 8 then moved nicey through to 10 where I picked up a train of Czech, Norge and Swede who I ran with until 11, then massively cocked up 12 letting them pull away and leaving me lonely to then massively cock up 13. Josh had caught me by here and ran with him until 18 before cocking up 19. Then jumped on the Simon Hector train through to the finish. Annoyed with the big mistakes after the last couple of days but enjoyed the mental challeneg of today and am weirdly looking forward to more elite long races. Fitness and experience shows massively with this stuff I think and it's just going to be a case of keeping working and the results should start coming through but for now there's no pressure and I'm looking forward to working hard to improve these results.
Stitches were hurting for the first part generally then became a dull ache only hurting when I hit something in the forest which given the terrain happened a fair bit. Quite sore after and especially so once home. Will stick to cycling this week I think to let it heal.
