British MTBO Champs 9.6k str8 15.4k opt 455m first control was wrongly placed lost 6 mins Never got going after that, couple of clever but slightly iffy route choices. John R caught me at no2 having luckily spiked no 1-beat me by 8' to win good ride by him. Was there for the taking!Long not my distance too much cycling not enough navigation. V muddy and had good race from no 2 with W50 Liz Clayton gold medal winner World Vets track beat her by 3'. Beat Tony Brand Barker by 10' but Charlie beat me by 10'Strong finish. Better than i thought at the time!
