Notes
8k XC, 28:02, 20th o/a, 3rd GBTC. First XC race in over a year! Very fun. Didn’t feel fantastic but didn’t feel awful which is how I feel about 90% of XC races, so calling that a win. Just told myself I could hang onto Steve, he dropped me going down the hill the first time we went into the woods but I knew that was his style and felt like I was still in contact with him as he moved up through the pack. When I finally caught him at the bottom of the hill I was pretty surprised that I was still going pretty strong, the uphills were tough but I was handling them as good as anyone near me. Didn’t have another gear in the last half mile or so on the grass and got burned by a lot of people, ugh. Still a fun and good race! I suppose I wish I had broken 28... I will at FP in a few weeks methinks.
