Midland Championships 1st
Ran in the place of Rhona so on the results I am her basically, but if I told them I would be dq'ed, there weren't many people there so it doesn't really matter.
Quite a good race, didn't really realise the amount of climb and didn't prepare to race but in spite of this it went well, pleased with the position. Some good route choices, although very slow on the paths for the longer legs, I think I just got quite bored, especially on 6 where only 500m of the 2.5km course was off the paths. Need to improve speed, especcially on paths, compared to terrain I really am not much faster.
Once in the control pick the course got a lot more fun which was good as I was about to lose my mind. Caught up Harriet and another girl who kept running off and getting lost which was quite annoying for the entire course as I hardly made any mistakes. Slightly off at 4 and a wobble at 2 but otherwise very good, gives me confidence for next weekend.
