Twin Peak Day 2. Very windy and chilly. First proper race in some time. Faffing out of the start with freezing hands and the wrong route. Saw Ben Stevens running along the ridge as I was heading across the valley and slowly reeled him in just after 4. Last weekend's fell race definitely helped on the uphill legs - running - but much slower than at the front. My lines on the steep slopes weren't ever so smooth (more O required). Was really enjoying it and got more into race mode as I went round. Some more wiggling to 15 (not seeing the vegetation on the map). Didn't move aggressively or in the right directions in the woods, not strong enough use of compass. Good fun, good to get in the zone, good to get motivation.
