Braids Hill/XC
8 seconds slower than last year when I tapered but the course was slower as it was bone dry this year. So still can't really tell the fitness but not too bothered.
Fun race. Gillham and Gollan shot off at an unbelievable pace. Then towards top of the hill the punters dropped off, the guys came back and I was hanging 10m off the back of a front group. Tom Martyn, Eoin Lennon, Sasha then G&G. Already gap behind. Tried very hard to stay in touch but wasn't really there. Felt okay for lap 2 but obviously slowing and just trying to keep pushing.
Ultimately this was another Saturday session and a good one at that. Except internally I want to rest and race and it is annoying to see Sasha and Ross 30sec up in the medals and I was with them 2 weeks ago. Long time till races matter though.
