CST final. Clyde finished 5th with 100points more than last year (which would have got 3rd last year!). A good all round performance from the team with 80points being the minimal counter this year compared to 40something last time.
My run felt not bad - couple of small misses and maanged to keep pace up on the faster 2nd half of the course although this length of race is too long for me still.
Time was satisfactory, 14min faster than last year, for a similar winning time. Beat Andy mac by 3 min and just pipped by Al D by 13 seconds! Lost 14s to him on the last control and run in combined - he must have kept something in the reserve! I didnt as my attempted vomit 10m from the finish will testify....
Oh and spent a few hours in A+E at Sheffield with Perrine who turned out to have sprained her ankle only which was good as got home at 10.30pm as it was - might have been a lot laster if we had to wait for the plaster to set!
cf this time last year (2010):-

Long hard race at Compassport trophy final. Decent enough run but couple of errors and lost some time late on due to cramp and plain fatigue. Not used to being out on my feet for 2 hrs is the problem!
