Uphill only race. Started well and sitting in 4th on the first bit of climb. Towards the top of this first bit Purko came past and pulled away on the steep stuff. Still in 4th over the first flat bit and next steeper section with two guys right behind me. When things started to level off I really couldn't get going and one of the guys got a big gap. Eventually got shifting just before the downhill section and got away from the other guy. Running hard from here to the end and felt like I was closing on the guy in front a bit but he was too far.
5th place and about a minute down on Mark who smashed it to take 3rd

Back down. Narrow path with loads of people who'd been walking on it so pretty slow going
