Three years ago I ran the Welsh Champs on Merthyr Mawr and went so wrong I retired. So just by finishing I improved a lot.
Had some fairly big mistakes on the long legs where I set out well but then lost track of where I was and struggled to relocated.
Surprised by the result as I knew I didn't run amazingly but the course seemed challenging and physical so usually I would expect to be closer to certain people (Grey beat me by 5mins).
I guess I have to work a lot on my nav. Looking forward to BUCS though.
Fun route where we went completely out of Bristol to some areas I've never run to. Desperately needed the toilet on the way back which made it hard to run.
