That went better than I thought, especially after getting the number 13 at registration.
How some races seem further than you remember them, this one did. But I still had fuel in the tank at the end.
Avoided going over-revs on the final down hill road, running with Mizuno shoes to reduce impact made some muddy bits slippy but no drama.
So 39 out 0f 66, 18 minutes slower than my 2018 time.
No pain and could get out of the car on arriving home, things are definitely looking up.
2 weeks steady before the Wainwrights around Whinlatter, my first try at it so hope not to get lost.
