Race: Deeside Off-Road Grand Prix Race 2 (4.8m)
Time/Position: 27.48 (7th from 80)
Another pleasant and warm evening for the second race in this summer XC series. As with last month's opener, I found this a bit of a struggle, but deliberately started a little more steadily and eventually came in 20 seconds quicker. Another strong field, but some fairly large gaps again opened during the first lap of the fields and woods. I was gaining on the runner in front, but couldn't catch him, and was caught out by my old bugbear - an upset stomach - on the final run-in along the dyke. Cue a desperate final lap as I sprinted to get to the facilities.
