Hi Ed,
Here is the round up how things went.
Set off at a steady 6 minute mile pace before hitting the first climb that lasted until the 6.5k check point. My pace dropped to 4 mins per k and struggled to hold on to too young mountain goats that where fighting it out for 1st and second place. I managed to get clear of the chasing pack and on my own for the rest of the race 26.00 at 6.5k and then the return from sea level for another 4k of eye watering terrain.
Was content to take 3rd overall and 1st vet 40.
Job done.
So moving back on cycle nice easy 50 mins this morning and planning a nice flat one in april..I have took onboard slow the intervals down and do more but all in all happy so onwards and upwards i hope.
Regards jon.
