\"\"<\/a>Another evening of fantastic weather brought the Dark and White<\/a>\u00a0league to Millers Dale on the Monsal Trail near to Tideswell, a new location for me. I recognised a couple of tracks in the area but most of the map was unfamilar.
\nI started fairly late after getting stuck in Stockport’s nightmare that is 5pm and\u00a0spent slightly longer\u00a0planning a route than the\u00a0normal cursory glance and the headed off up towards #3 planning to\u00a0try and get them all. I think the planning was fairly\u00a0kind as\u00a0many competitors had spent the weekend competing either at the MTBO\u00a0British Champs or the Polaris.
\nI was feeling really strong on the hills\u00a0and was\u00a0very confident on the navigation, relying mainly on map\u00a0memory to keep things smooth.
\nThe views were spectacular,\u00a0with the whole of the White Peak unfolding below as we circumnavigated one of the higher areas of the South\u00a0Peak District.<\/p>\n

Feeling I was going to comfortably\u00a0make it in in time with all the controls\u00a0I relaxed a little and then made a mistake, cruising past a road junction on the way to #4 losing myself about 3 mins as I climbed back up cursing my lapse of concentration. It was then a race against the clock\u00a0giving it all along the Monsal Trail to avoid being late back\u00a0which I knew would drop me from a likely tied first place. I made it with 15 secs to spare.<\/p>\n

Killian, Ben Plowman and\u00a0\u00a0I all had cleared the course in under 2 hours, giving us a tied first place. Looking at the splits Killian and I are just a couple of seconds apart on legs now so the racing in Denmark will be very close.<\/p>\n
