Event: TVOC Regional Event TBC
 

Bradenham Blue - Painful grind, sandwiched between two stronger runners who kept easing away only to keep reappearing. Marred by 3 min lost on last control that was 40m too far west. Otherwise 45s on 4 and a few hesitations.
Pleasing performance on shot legs & only second run after 3 month break. Game on!
Results: Was in the M65 gruppo at the top at the next to last & 1.37 down on Colin.

C • 40m west? 2

Legs were dead!

Event: Gorrick TORQ Breakout XC Endurance Series 2 of 3
 

Gorrick Breakout Race 2 - 6 laps just by 22s. Another 8th & another 4pts, setting up 3-way tie for 6th place for the last race against two faster riders that have both blown up.
28.57, 29.14, 29.52, 29.49, 29.55, 31.48
First 5 laps were within 60s despite refueling, but each felt slower. Had double quad cramp on last lap just after hill, stopped 2 mins and managed to finish strongly. Just as well, as my watch said it was 62s under rather than 22s.
Even more technical than last time. 1 heavy crash, 1 soft & numerous minor unplanned stoppages.

Swinley Red Trail - easy pace for race taper. Legs still not recovered from Saturday's ride & novelty of running.
So rusty- really needed this more technical ride for the weekend.
New tyre fitted.
