A revisit to Transit Flat at St Helens where I last ran in January 2015 (which was after the World Cup races). Physically tough race where we started up high on a saddle and had most of the climb in the last part of the course. Missed control 1 and blew 2 minutes then also was low on a green slope on 4 and lost another 4 minutes but nailed the rest. Weather was again perfect - dry and a little cool. Leg held up ok given it was a back up to yesterday altho because of the terrain really only got a chance to run consistently between controls 5 and 9. Controls 10 to finish were on a steep slope.
