2nd
Ran 1st leg in a team with Jenny and Jess. I had a short first split, gapped all the girls then got caught up amongst the boys race and got dragged along with them until #5 as they kept running past me, going to an extra control then running back past again. Started to slow down from #6 partly to be safe with the lead I'd built up, but mainly cos I was really suffering from running so fast at the beginning. Messed up 9 (dodgy map/control placement) as well as 11 (just before spectator control, oxygen debt, couldn't find a path) then just safe round the last loop to hand over with around 2mins lead.
Jenny ran well to hand over to Jess 20secs down on Tessa. Then Jess pushed hard to catch Tess but unfortunately lost some time on 2 controls and ended up finishing about the same time behind. Super happy with 2nd place though against a stacked England team.
