West Point A-meet, Long Hollow.
Pretty nervous about this after the last few weeks. First starter at 8am.
Fantastic area to be in, ran steadily alone for 45mins, just one wobble at #2 in the laurel. Then got caught by Wyatt Riley, Will Smith and Michael Conradi. They were going faster than Iwanted to go, but not as fast as I could go. So I changed gear and tagged along, Wyatt doing all the work.
Conradi vanished immediately, but after 7 controls or so, we split on a long route choice and I fell gracefully off the back. Will missed near the end, and I recaught him.
Overall, fairly happy. Still producing enough gunk that the slow start was acceptable, but now need to concentrate on keeping up the speed when alone.
