Really good race. Set off just ahead of mairead and julia which was good because it made me run faster! I had a closer gaffle to the first control, but felt like i wasn't that much slower over the dunes. Came through the spectator with them and anwen, but definitely lost ground on the run through. Came in in 3rd place which was much higher than i had expected as had only been aware of passing a couple of teams. Zoe then had to battle against Clare Ward and Rachel Elder, so her coming in in 6th was still better than we expected!

Awful. Legs felt completely dead, so obviously didn't have the fitness for this race. Was pretty clean so though i was a very long way down on the leaders, i managed to hang onto 5th place overall.

Really good race. Was a bit frantic for the first few controls, but then forced myself to calm down. Felt really slow all the way round, but think my biggest navigational mistake cost me 40s, so the slow speed probably paid off!
Came 4th, and for the first time for a fair while beat zoe (by 24 seconds, but still...) A good birthday run :)

Really enjoyed it! Apart from the slippyness. Felt like i was running strongly and fairly clean. Came equal 5th with Rona. Was 50s down on Charlotte, but think it was a good run.

Went for a long walk in the mournes with the family. about 17k and quite a lot of climb. Lovely day!
