Spring 5

Race: Chester Spring 5
Time/Position: 29.33 (33rd from 374 [2nd V50])
The poor weather remained a factor tonight, although as with last year the back-to-back race routine worked reasonably well and I didn't feel too bad for the very fast start down towards Picton. The next stretch, into a headwind, slowed times in these conditions - as did the mud on the farm lanes back to the crossroads. I ended up almost a minute down on last year, so I was lucky to be first Buckley finisher on this, the first in the revived club championships. Always a very competitive race: I'm not sure how many times I've done it over the years.
