Event: Endurancelife Coastal Series - Dover
 

Course was mostly trails above the White Cliffs of Dover with a bit of bitumen. It was near 0 degrees so trails were icey and slippery. So many people were stacking it coming off the start line so I settled back in about 10th making sure the leaders were in sight. It was so hairy, I was afraid someone would slip off the cliffs into the sea. Reached the turnaround point at Walmer Castle feeling pretty good in about 8th position with the leaders only 1-2 minutes ahead and occasionally in sight. In the second half, direction signs were a bit hard to see and noticed a lot of the top guys were losing time which helped me. I was slowly picking them off with the pace getting faster averaging around 4 min/km for the last 10km. Crossed the line in 3rd place about 2 min behind the leader but for some reason wasn't 3rd at the presentation. Will have to wait for online splits and results.

Edit: 4th
