National XC Relays

I had got through Thursday's training session OK and was again put on the second leg for the Garscube Vets' team. I chose spikes over trail shoes and went for 12mm on account of the rain earlier in the week, but the course turned out to be mostly fine and only heavy in a few places. Lack of fitness was my main concern but straight away I noticed I was running pain-free which was certainly motivating, and I was picking people off all the way round, making up 23 places in total. My time was 15:21, 24 seconds down on last year which wasn't too bad under the circumstances, and 4th fastest for Garscube overall. We ended up 6th Vets' team.

Average pace: 5:58/mile (for 2.57 miles)
