Lake District Mountain Trial, classic course 8th place. Really good start (perhaps too good?), going well up to about #5 then started to tire about when Nic Barber came past (2 minute man) and I could hang on to him or Andrew Schofield and another who were with me at the time. Lost quite a bit of time on long leg to #8, just really slow (and went over on ankle near end of leg and lay in a marsh feeling sorry for myself before deciding to finish the course). Then picked up a bit in last few controls (maybe just because they were downhill!). Actually not a bad result, and only a few minutes behind a much better placing.
