Ridgeway Relay for me on Sunday. Ten-and-a-bit miles from South Stoke (near Goring) to Bury Down car park. Nice route, good views, well signposted but had map on me anyway, nearly all off road.
Caught the runner in front of me within the first mile, had a bit of a chat and ran together for a couple of miles. Could see another runner not too far ahead from fairly early on. Reeled him in a bit but just couldn't catch him. Was pleased to run all the way up the big hill.
We were one of the last teams to get to the checkpoint where I took over so it was quiet out on the course, hopefully I made up a little time for the team. There was a mass start from the stage after mine that left before I started my stage so I had no one to hand over to, just a marshall and my lift waiting for me!
1:24 for a little over 10 miles with a decent amount of elevation. Happy with that considering I'm still recovering from Endure24. Probably could have gone a little faster. Need to actually race more to improve at these shorter distances rather than just focussing on endurance stuff. Pretty tired today.
