A FUCKING RACE! Beinn Tharsuinn, a Russell McKechnie special. Me, Dan, Andrew and Jack (plus dog) at the front heading up the quarry access road, pretty four abreast, before Dan started pulling away. Various lines past the quarry, all crud, I was tucked in behind Andrew on the way up through the heather, Dan dangling off the front. Took the bold decision to stay left on the final descent. A race winner or a total balls-up. . .neither, it made precisely fuck all difference. Hit the track 36" behind Dan, a little less behind Andrew. Reeled Andrew in, closed the gap to Dan a little but not enough, 22" in the end. Felt well out of my element running 3'20" down the road.
No particular skip in my step after yesterday but not overly tired and no niggles.
