Glorious day out in Richmond Park, although as forecast the clouds came in at exactly 1pm.

Been feeling a bit under the weather recently, but somehow this was ok albeit at pretty low speed.

Bracken has now died enough so that the original loop is once again accessible.

Army League Long Valley North, 8.9/80

Didn’t feel up for this with legs heavy this morning, but I don’t get to attend Wednesday races very often so went anyway. It’s a pleasant enough area full of tank tracks and the odd contour detail

First 20 minutes were really tough physically plus a minute’s mistake on a long route choice (partly blocked by a deeper than expected flooded area, partly off course at the end.) But then I settled into it and the flow was excellent for the second half, with much better splits and close to zero seconds lost.

Overall a good outing, 7th of 45 around 10 mins behind Adam Conway but only 4 mins behind second.
