Still feeling pretty shattered, Wednesday has wiped me out - so with dodgy hip flexors decided to ride A for training as there would be less temptation to race. As it happened my front brake gave up before I started so I had to walk down the hills (no running to save hip) making me super slow!!
Great little area, would have loved to be pushing it all the way as was really enjoying attacking the steep climbs! They were my downfall however as were different to the road riding climbs I've been doing and proved to aggrivate hip anyway. Made it 5 controls in and called it quits. Rode all but 1/3 of one hill though so feeling reasonable.
Served the intended purpose of a great distraction from the last week or so of work. :-)

Immediately after feeling the hip twinge called it quits. slow back to the finish pushing up and steep down as could feel it pedaling uphill now.
