Creag Dubh Hill Race
No idea what position I finished, and not especially bothered (Scot and Brit champs field so I was well down!), just delighted to be racing again! And to only be about a minute slower than last year was a real bonus.
Felt surprisingly good on the climb given I haven't pushed that hard for months; took it cautiously on the descent and felt no issues or niggles, and then absolutely died on my arse on the return lap round the park, but that was to be expected! Overall, delighted to be back and not feeling as unfit as I feared. Successfully played out a plan of ignoring all the guys I usually race, and just going as hard as my current fitness let me.
