JK Trophy - 1st Leg
A bit of a spirt out the start to get onto the nice path so as not to get stuck behind the masses. Then just settled in the pack after picking my route to 1 to take a good look at the map. People started peeling off and hesitating into 1 so a was a good boost to hit it first and confidently onto 2 and 3; where the gaffles converged and I found myself just behind Sander, for the thrid time and three days, and Murray. Not sure about the gaffling but ran my own race through the next loop and found myself just behind Sander and a little further behind Murray again at 7 with a small gap to the pack behind.
Decided to use the round option to 8 on the tracks rather than up and down through the quarries. Turned out to be some 45s slower as next sight of Sander was him way off in the distance and I merged with the chasing packed (couple of Belgians and a Birtwistle) as they climbed out the quarries.
Easy next few though tough heather, before missing the spectator control by the best part of a minute and making a spanner of myself. Caught by Todd Oaks and Jamie P at this point. Small hesitation on one control but otherwise clean to the end putting in what I had left to come in 4th.
