JK Sprint (Leeds Uni) - 2nd on M50 (58 secs down on Quentin H): probably my second strongest sprint race ever - was certainly up for it and hadn't felt too tired from the Mad Fortnight. Set off hard and got onto the map reasonably quickly. The 'long' leg to 2 had me briefly perplexed (was 12 secs slower than QH on this leg) but then I more or less rather on instinct and hoped the route would open up before me (I could see at least one route down to the far end). It did and it gave me the confidence I needed. I don't think I lost much/any significant time at all and had Kenny Leith in my sights from #4, although I didn't actually catch and pass him until #15. Maybe this affected me as #16 was my worst leg. Overall, running reasonably hard but lack of specific training cost me some time till as I haven't bee full out for ages (hamstring, step forward).
