Well then. That was terrifying. Was coming into this race with only one training session ever and no water jump experience so the feelings of trepidation were real. Was scorching and bedford is a very exposed track wind-wise, yay.
Set off and gave myself some space and a clear line of sight to jump the first two barriers which was okay. Then it was the water jump. Yep.
Just running towards it thinking 'I have got literally no idea what I'm doing'. Jumped it, pushed off not nearly far enough and landed both feet in the water lol. Lesson learnt for the next times.
Race went on and honestly it was brute. It's 35 jumps in total and you just do feel horrible. Didn't really know how hard to try as well cos obviously you have to be leaving a decent amount of energy for the jumps. But for the most part the jumps were fine. Only one of them was really terrible and the ensuing water jumps were decent.
Finished feeling very relieved. Was an extremely mentally stressful race - with a jump every ~16 secs you just cannot switch off so I felt done by the end. Overall, really glad I did it though and looking forward to honing the discipline. Should have secured the 2nd team spot for varsity so roll on that
