HH Burnham Beeches Regional Event - Short Brown Course.
Interesting logistics for the split start. Bussing, with no spikes/dirty shoes allowed on the buses meant that kit was carried and final prep was done at the clothing dump. Seemed like a generous split, but just about adequate in the outcome.
I'd forgotten how nice Burnham Beeches was to run through - though visibility changed, it was generably runnable throughout, plus a reasonable amount of contrast across the course withgood variety of leg lengths.
Thought that I'd made a reasonable go (and not lost much time due to nav errors, but hesitency and heavy legs put my overall result further down than I might've expected or hoped for.
Was lucky with the return bus to the event centre as it'd just started to pull away!
O shoes are starting to resemble sandals, with a hole in one and the tongues on both disintegrating - feel that it won't be long before I have to move onto the next pair.
