Trail/ Mountain mix race 25:51 [5] 5.05 km (5:07 / km) +272m 4:02 / km
slept:7.5 shoes: Walsh PB
Winter League - Ben Lora. 1st, 25:51
Great to be hill racing again - first real race up a hill since Scafell skyrace last July?!?
Out and back race starting and finishing on the forest trails with a good section of boggy open hill in the middle up to the trig point of Ben Lora.
Legs were feeling pretty lethargic and heavy for the whole climb - just the last few days training still in the legs. Started off in behind Stu for first section on the trail, he opened at gap but kept him in sight. Pulled level on a rougher hands and knees section before opening up a slight gap myself. Reached the summit first with Stu not more than about 15 secs behind.
Took the rough boggy descent section a bit cautiously before increasing the gap a bit more once back on the trails.
Very happy with the race, especially on tired legs. 25:51 - apparently 4th fastest on the all time list.
