I entered this late, after finding out that my flight in from the Alps was early on the day, and this event kicked off at 4.30pm. Jim and I did Series 2, and it was fun, and this time they changed the format to include a road bike section on the race track, which I was looking forward to. The numbers were down on the previous two events, probably due to the time and it being Easter, so the total field was only 23, and the event was delayed by an hour because of hail/snow and the ongoing track day event.
The format was a run of 2 laps of the Knockhill Race track, followed by a large off-road bike section (on mountain bike), then into final transition for 5 laps of the track on a road bike. I had a shocking run, my legs just wouldn’t move, and I was almost 2 minutes down on the previous event, but made up places on both bike sections to finish 4th overall, and 2nd Vet. The run was my downfall and cost me a couple of places by my calculations. Still, good fun, especially road biking on the track – an excellent surface!
