Great course at yesterday's Gorrick autumn XC classic at Crowthorne woods. Entered the Sport cat. with a field of about twenty and was duly dropped almost immediately finishing 16th about three minutes off the pace per five mile lap. Putting most of that down to lack of any practice laps and skill deficit - which I tried to correct throughout the race and managed to negative split it so it kinda worked. I need to work on slow speed cornering.
Perfect conditions apart from the cold nibbling at my mits for the first lap. Too cold for sharkpits jersey though, much to @BareNecessities disappointment I'd imagine.
Here's the course if anyone fancies it. Also, good to meet @Steves - with an old school Cannondale - on the train down.
