Brutal
Flat for the first minute, gradual for the next 2 then very steep straight up. Started walking not far after this (along with everyone else). Slightly flattens off in middle section - knew it was going to be tough when I was struggling to run even on this bit due to the lactate and got overtaken by a couple of people.
Got to the top in about 4th, maybe a 1 minute behind Ben Mounsey. Wasn't really prepared for how steep the decent would be. Slid down on my backside quite a lot, sometimes because I fell and other times because it seemed the safest/quickest way. Even so got overtaken by a couple of people. Hit the short flat bit on the golf course at the base of the steep section and could hardly run my legs were so jelly like. It was even worse when I hit the real road at the very bottom. Was hoping no one was close behind as I couldn't manage more than a jog! Very weird to not be able to run any faster but for my chest/head to feel so fresh.
Maybe not the best fell race to do for the first one of the year. Luckily still won enough prize money for it to be worth going along.

14th
Mixed emotions. I don't think I could have done much more today, the last 3 minutes were pure pain. So in some ways it was satisfying and not bad for a WOC individual debut.
But I'd been hoping for a slighter better performance and result. Made some mistakes and possibly could of pushed a bit harder on the first half but overall the race was in line with how my races/training have been this year so I can't have expected more.
Felt good warming up and calm going through the start boxes to the arena. Made a slight mistake at 1 overshooting in circle. Then fairly good flow through the next controls, just slightly poor direction leaving 4.
Was still feeling fairly good setting off to 10. Wiggled a bit as I slightly missed the alley soon after 9. As I came off the steep hill on this leg started to feel tired and didn't take a great line to the way down. Struggled up next hill to the control, wobbly into 11 then ran round the wrong building though didn't realise during race what I'd done but lost 10-15s. Made it back up to the pleateau with 12 on ok but then felt like I staggered in and out of the control at what felt like jogging speed as I swam in lactate. From then on I just had to dig deep to keep some sort of speed to the finish. Noise on the run in was awesome and I found another gear but not quite enough to hold off Peter though ~0.7s. 3rd time this year he's beaten me on the run in!
Finished 5th so with so many still to come thought I'd end up somewhere in the late 20s. So to hold onto a top 15 position was a surprise.

Not that happy with the run but did enough and that's all that matters.
