Reston Scar Scamper

6th July 2011

My local race and also in the club championship. My legs are still suffering from the Saunders but I'll just have to see how it goes. A big club turnout is good, but not necessarily for those wanting points.

After a steady start I find a bit of pace and gain a few places. The first descent is very slippy and I gain on a small group. But then it is the narrow section and no passing. I tuck in for the last climb to the summit and pass a couple more just before the top. I know I will be slow on the final road section so I give a big effort and pass about eight on the grassy descent. Sure enough I lose three places on the run in. No results yet but I think only a minute slower than last year. Reasonably pleased given the weekend before.
