Ankle wasn't good but couldn't have lived with myself if I didn't manage to finish a race so used a lot of ankle tape and got ready to run. Hit the first two cleanly so despite only being able to run at a reduced pace I was still in contact with the other runners, then made a couple of small misses though and was well off the back. Then ran clean until the final loop where i lost two minutes on each of the last two tricky controls.
Unfortunately Ed had stubbed his toe and couldn't run so we didn't have a full team but at least I got around a course for Wales.

Was really up for this, started fairly well and hit the first control cleanly, picked a good exit and was checking what my next contact point would be when my ankle went. Not too bad I thought I would just run it off and gave it a go but just couldn't manage the rocky, tussocky ground, eventually grounding to a halt at control 6 from where I limped home.
Massively disappointed to end my Wales debut this way.
