JK Long on Ashdown. It was snowing all the way to the race today, and I was getting quite nervous that the organisers would cancel, leaving me with 34= place. It turned out they did a great job of dealing with the weather and making sure things went ahead with no problems. I started early after yesterday's debacle and knew that I would have to work hard to salvage some pride. Started very hard and hoped that I would be able to sustain it until the finish. Only a few small mistakes, all mid-leg when I mis-executed my planned route, but the orienteering was simple and I never had to slow down. Held the pace until the last 2km, when I started to suffer across the tussocky moorland. I looked up and caught sight of the finish at the top of a huge hill, and the last few legs were horrible. Really happy with my race and couldn't have hoped for much more off such an early start. 3rd today and pulled up to 7th overall.

Decent warm up in the snow and sleet. I couldn't be bothered with much of a warm down until Helen P encouraged me to run to the start and back with her.
