Trail Running race 40:41 [5] 10.5 km (3:52 / km)
National XC Falkirk. Good day for it and track in reasonable condition. Got caught up at the start and went out quick but felt quite good and strong. Wasn't until about half way through the second lap I felt I started to drop away a little - about the same time Mark caught and passed me. Tried to stick with Mark for a bit but didn't have the pace left so just tried to keep a good steady effort. Pushed hard through the last lap and a reasonable finish. 193rd overall but happy to take a top 200! One position up on two years ago!
