LEI & UKOL Middle Distance at Irchester CP: first time here and what a great area - very technical and detailed, made more challenging by sticky steep slopes (should have worked dobs for extra grip). Took it steady to 1 to get into the terrain and managed to relax; by 5 I'd worked out that the banks were very accurate and could be counted off. A couple of routes seemed quicker by finding the path to the side. However good planning there weren't too many of those. Just a couple of very small misses (maybe 15 seconds in total). Other than that, bang on and only 4 mins down on Martin W, which given fitness and inability to run fast was very pleasing. 5th overall.
