JK Sprint 2016 - University of Leeds - 13th
Senior debut; the start of the process. A fairly average race but by no means anything special, slighty disappointed but fairly happy for my first JK as a senior - nothing is expected.
Started fast but controlled so surprised to be up their in the splits with the 'pack level' athletes as I definality wasn't pushing hard at all times. Bit of a blunder on 10, don't know what happened, but think I got dragged on the left side of the line by the underpass, could have corrected this but confused myself and come in to 10 via 12: +40. Knew Crickmore would be close as I thought I had lost upwards of a minute, seen him on the way to 14, then battled to the end. Few more RC errors of totalling 15secs~.
Overall pretty encouraging and nice to finally do the JK feeling relaxed, slighty rusty on the technical side never complexity ahead of myself but considering the lack of O due to uni and work placement I was expecting that and aren't to bothered! Splits are encouraging and confirm what I already knew.
