^ nice one, well done on 50/100/1 respectively!
I had similar pacing issues at xc, not helped by a whimsical decision to run there as the bus would take just as long.
Opening flat short lap I was at 185bpm and ahead of two sub 2h45 marathoners from a local club, waved them off as they vanished ahead and settled into holding hr around 180ave for the rest of the race backwards through the field.
Also struggled with vision, my 3rd race without my glasses this season but first with mud/root descents which I was v.tentative down. Writing to Santa for decent prescription run glasses I think.
Ran (of sorts) home too, daft but I survived.
