Ilkley Trail Race today.
11km/250m. Too flat, too hot, too fast. Nowhere to hide, just flat out there and back. Was pretty happy to manage to hang on the whole way round after starting keenly. But really just felt slow. Was chuffed to sneak in just under an hour. Calves took an absolute pounding on all the tarmac and hard flat trails - I'll stick to the fells!
Photo on the 20m stretch that wasn't totally flat. Managed a decent vault over the stile and fired down the only vaguely technical stretch seemingly faster than others as a spectator shouted "Absolutely loving that!"
