Brereton Heath

Not sure I've ever been here, never used to bother going to MDOC evening events.

Fairly interesting little area but got to map flip to be confronted by the same course printed on the back as the front. Back to assembly to get new map. Also turns out the map was the 2015 not updated 2016 version...

Race 3
Antwerp City North

The best city race I've done (not that I've done many). Was raining off and on so steep grassy slopes were interesting in flats. Best bit of the course at end. Bit disappointed to be 2mins down but made some mistakes and not attacking enough at start.

Joe just behind as we went into first butterfly but different gaffles and only saw him once behind after that. Lots of other people around doing different courses though.

Unique race in the UK, would be good to see more people there though! Closed roads, commentary and spectators (part of http://www.horwichfestivalofracing.co.uk/)

Good (simple) first half then lost the intensity a bit in the second half - or so it felt. Not so clear on the splits though.

Not sure how you can have one heat 200m/1min shorter than the other two...

Final
3rd

Average performance. A few small mistakes. Tried to push hard but still managed to get to the end without feeling like I had given it everything physically. Form may not have returned since achilles comeback just over a year ago but today I was happy to take the bronze.

Interestingly have always performed (and got better results) in British than JK - even if allowing for a slightly stronger field at JK than British. Think looking at my forest/junior races would show a similar pattern. Chance of psychological?

Hmmm. Was aiming at 8.40. Ran first lap at right pace then though just maintain this but must have slowed quite quickly and didn't pay attention enough. Felt a bit flat. Got to end and didn't feel tired...

Greenland

Much better area and more sprint like. Feeling tired #12/13/14 but managed to find another gear for last couple of controls #20/21 and run in - maybe the track sessions are starting to help (or I wasn't putting in enough effort round the rest of the course).

Note

No surprise in missing out on WOC, knew as soon as I finished EOC sprint. Frustrated is probably the best word that sums my mood up. Just didn't put a decent performance together in a race that mattered.

Went for a run up Foel Fenlli afterwards. Took a few wrong turns on the way back so out a bit longer than anticipated. Some great views.
