Fell Race (Arncliffe Gala) 11:09 [3] 3.0 km (3:43 / km) +140m 3:01 / km
Didn't see any names at first but then Simon Bailey and Ted Mason appeared.
Sprinted off the start to go into the lane behind Bailey. Who was going quite fast but keep-upable. Like last time out here just stuck right on the leader's heel to the top, getting some distance on Ted. Felt pretty comfortable - think the altitude training definitely came in handy as have been doing zero proper training. Knew I wasn't very fast along the top and he got a gap and Ted was closing behind.
Only had f-lites so got passed on the upper descent and by 4th on the steep descent. Sped up off the bottom though and kept the pace high down the track for 3rd.
Maybe could have tried passing Bailey just before the top so it would be a bit of a pain for him to pass me - and then just pinned it to get as much lead as possible before a slow descent!
