Dollar Hill race. Set off fairly easy up the road, skipped past a few people just before the bottleneck on the Glen switchbacks. Got stuck behind a frenchmen who kept on walking... saw a gap and jumped round him. Had a steady climb up saddle hill and then up on to Whitewisp hill. Three guys got a little gap on me off the hill but kept it at that all the way to Andrew Gannel Hill, slowly caught ground on Dave Godfree but still 30 seconds behind. Descended well off AGH and went past one guy, then sighted the next guy ahead, went over Kings Seat and again descended well and caught the next guy. Then had Dave Godfree in my sights, was getting closer and closer back into the woods, but then we hit the flat and he just got a gap and I couldn't catch. Ended up 10th and under 90 mins. Really enjoyed the race and feel like I'm getting fitter. I wasn't working to hard up the first hill so maybe I've got a little more to give, just didn't want to blow up. Coming over Kings Seat on the last hill I kind of wished the race was another 10km longer as I'd started to get into a rhythm.
