Yesterday evening a head cold developed. Not feeling too bad just some mild symptoms. I suspect this has been lingering since SPOOK and finally emerged. First cold for a long while though so it was coming.
Fun route. Pretty much all in terrain. Don't think I caught any time on Euan to one but then went a bit further left on 2 and it was evidently a good route as had managed to catch Euan and Neil.
After three I split from Euan and he headed to the firebreak on the left and I went up the right of the trees. Again my route must of been better as ended up a fair way ahead.
Ankle got pretty bad towards four so stuck to the path to finish.
A really fun race, proper tough fell running.
Shame about the ankle as it had been feeling better just going to have to be careful again for a while and try and strengthen/fix the weaknesses.
Was planning to do 5 but felt tired going to the track and during the session. Not sure if it was the 90miles last week or the 9 pints. Probably the latter.
