After 2 days off and a works night out the worse thing to do was to get straight back into it and race. Nevermind the sub-arctic conditions and high winds all in the lovely Irvine.
I struggled from the start. Like the last 2 races I decided to start at the back and work my way up. This didn't work so well this time as I got stuck behind some slower runners and had too keep spurting in an attempt to keep a good pace. Managed to try some of the race tactics that I have been reading about and drafted behind one of the Bella guys. This worked really well in the high winds and I managed to pass him later on in the race. I could hear Andy Birnie's wife shouting for him so I knew he wasn't far behind and it wasn't long before he passed me. Tried to keep up with him and I was until we came back around to the hills where he powered away from me and left me no chance of catching him. I finished in 67th place.
