The course here is four laps (bad, in my book) but it's quite technical, with lots of roots and switchback bends, plus a lot of slippery terrain and interesting cambers (all good!).
I had an awful start, positioned too far back, and spent at least half a lap stuck in bottlenecks and trying to get past others. Once we'd thinned out though, it was perfect - I just kept picking off the runner ahead. The 4 laps (just under 10k) went by quickly in sunny conditions and I finished in 78th place, up from 106th at the same event last year. A good start to the season!
