Hill Race race 43:00 [5]
Tap O'Noth hill race (part of Rhynie Gala Day). Legs not feeling great, warmed up, still not great, started race legs not great! Had a decent spell on the second bit of climb (up through heather path) 7th at top approx 20m behind 6th but lost time on descent, Dennis McD came past near bottom of moor and I held him to 50m or so till half way back along road when my legs gave up, another guy came past 300m from the end and I just let him go, absolutely nothing left for a sprint finish. Ended up 9th in 42-31. I guess 2 races in 48 hours is asking a bit too much at this stage of race fitness!
Hoping to do Lonch Games race next weekend and then Braemar in 3 weeks time..... will make sure I'm well rested for it.
Overall pretty pleased how the 3 races in 2 weeks have gone, I feel they give me a boost that I don't get form doing intervals or hill sessions - I tend to just switch off and drift through these.
Lots os survey in the next 4-5 weeks so I'll need to be careful not to overdo it!
