British and English Champs medium. What a lovely course. Was brill to be out in the beautiful hills facing some proper climbs and some beaut descents. Game plan was to start off slow and work through the field. Route choices at the beginning meant i had no idea who was around me and spent the majority of the race with a group of men as per. Had a cheeky gel about half way round which woke me up a bit. Definitely making progress on the ups - even passing people on heartbreak hill. Over took Astrid at the top after a few minutes of descending. According to starve i took a minute out of Bronwen on the final down as well which I'm really proud of! £rd U23 and only a min off Hannah so that's an improvement from last champs on a longer distance! 16th lady ahead of some strong runners so I'm pretty chuffed. Oh and i did i mention it was almost 30 degrees for a lot of it!
