Running 4:22:00 [5] 32.0 km (8:11 / km) +2100m 6:10 / km
Mountain Trial
Set off well with good routechoices to number 1, 2 and 3. Lost about 7 mins on number 4. Number 5 was fine. Lost time on number 6 due to routechoice. Found a good trod going round Knott Rigg but it soon ran out. Had to bash through braken and then I struggled on the climb up to the col at Sail. Lost sometime stod about 50 metres from the control. Started to hit the wall and took the trod around Outerside and then climbed up to the control. Then just pushed to the next control and then stumbled down the track to the finish. Found the race tough but really enjoyed. Good training for the OMM.
