After two weeks without a race or a proper training run, a course of antibiotics and a pair of compression calf sleeves to hold it all together here we go again. Tittersone Clee is just my sort of race - small and informal, short, and straight up and down. Katie had made the trip from Bristol to take in another race so Kath was out on the course with Chica and Tim was pretending to help.
Trepidatious at first I got into my stride soon enough and arrived at the top with the first lady just in front and Katie not far behind. It's difficult to tell who's a V50 and who's a V60 amongst the veteran men around me so I just went hard as I could to pick off three on the pathless but not too technical descent. Turns out they were all V50's and the bottle of beer is mine! Katie took 2nd Lady and is getting ever closer to beating me. My time was exactly the same as 10 years ago so I don't think I can do much more!
Results: 14th/38 V60: 1st/4 Time: 27:35
Distance: 4.1km Climb: 229m
Katie: 21st/38 Time: 31:08
