Bill Fox Gravy Pud Fell Race - 1st.
Set out pretty well and was joined by a Totley guy who I tucked in behind because I felt like I was working harder than I wanted to. Hit the first descent and then recovered a bit so took the lead and pushed on up the steep moor climb and along the top. The very last climb was like a wall but knew if I stayed ahead I'd be in a strong position so kept pushing from there to the finish through the woods and back through the farm. Felt tired from around 6k but kept pushing, last few slopes felt very tired. Wanted to do this as a test and because I was bored with plodding. Positive to have mentally kept pushing and to descend/flat run so well but there's a lot of work to do on climbs. Knee also seems to have reacted well. Nice to get a win in my first race for DP.
