Spent most of the week trying to shake off a cold, which at least meant having strong and well rested legs for XC yesterday. I gave @juanito a sniff of a sprint victory by nearly stacking it on the final muddy dip before the finishing straight but somehow managed to stay upright and kicked on. Exciting stuff! I think I was 12th scorer for the club, same as last year but about 20 positions further up overall, which tells me we had a ridiculously strong team out, and I'm just happy that it seems the cold is behind me and I can get back on track with marathon mileage this week. 20 miles this morning around the canals felt relatively comfortable, if very wet.
