BUCS Individual - 17th
Started the racing moving well enough, but got caught in shite on 4, and didn't see the control on 5, which cost me maybe 90s between them. Ali had just gone past me when I missed 5 which was a shame, I then took the low-ish route. Got into 6 just behind Ali which was a pleasant surprise, and got slightly ahead on a better line leaving it.
Dane went through me at this point, and I could keep sight of him for a while, but only maybe halfway to 9. Was surprised not to have Ali catch me properly again until 10 or so.
This area was really rocky and I could feel the terrain beating me around a bit. I could feel my achilles was tight too, it wasn't particularly sore, but it was taking a lot of my energy.
Bit of a miss on 11, and climbed up to 12 & 13 with Ali going away a little bit. Punching 13 I was pretty tired now, and my lower leg felt a bit beaten up. Ali got a decent gap, and once I hit the open I could see him, but he was well gone.
Ran out the rest of the course, but couldn't get shifting properly with my foot and achilles & some stitching, however wasn't incredibly slow either.
Not really a great day out. Probably only lost 2:30mins or so, but definitely a bad day physically with little strength too, not helped by the rocky patch.
Cool to race, and a nice area, but a shame not to be racing up to scratch really. Very early season at least, and if I can shake these niggles that'll help.
