Running 3:53:00 [3]
shoes: Inov8 xtalons 212
After sprinting to the start (messed up alarms an hour late) we where a bit frazzled so dumped about 10 mins on the first 2 controls, frustrating! Then luckily found the next before getting into a rythem. The first bit was rough so my shoes where digging into my ankles then when we hit the track my right knee got really sore, which later meant my left achilies got really sore too. So hobbled the reamaining 2.30 hours, frustrating as it was pain not muscles slowing us down! Better control selection and a sprint finish meant we where first female team but they've stopped doing prizes now for us :-( good fun weakens hoping my knee and achilies heel really soon and its an omm niggle! Natalie was fantastic!
