Northern Championships - Bigland
Switched down to course 9 to compete against the W60s.
This was actually lots of fun - hip wasn't too bad, though still niggling on all the up. But felt pretty good on the flats and the downs, result. Started to hurt properly after 9, so got a lot further through a course than last weekend, or even yesterday.
Abject failure to be superman, those W60s are speedy.
Messed up route to 3 - had a plan, but didn't execute it, so did a lot of unnecessary height gain, before getting confused by the unmarked paths.
Rubbish to 12, direction out of 11 was poor so ended up thrashing down a shitty slope through a stream, not great.
Got beaten on the run-in, very embarrassing. I'm gonna blame my hip for that one.
Asides from that, I was relatively happy with how it went. Few other bananas here and there, sliding all over the slopes in my X-talons, but I wasn't hurting too much, and I was having a good time.
Was fun :)
