Departmentale at Rocher des Demoiselles. Ran the A course to get some training time in the terrain. Didn't have a great run technically, but spiked some controls and ran relatively strongly throughout the whole race. messed up one of the easiest controls on the course, losing 3 minutes after running around searching behind bushes - must have missed it by metres a couple fo times. very annoying. Positive outcome from the run is my steady improvement in fitness through the terrain. Need to continue the improvement slowly but surely. Will start to put in some interval work soon to try and get the speed/strength up. Downside is I am a couple of minutes off the pace of my H50 peers. Still, it is early days :-) . Also, hurt the outside of my lower right leg - it is a strain from turning my ankle in the Active Ankle supports. I had this last year and it does go away eventually. May have to tape my ankle for a few weeks instead.
