Hector Haines commented on his performance 'Solid solo performance where one mistake and a route choice error led to 28th place in the end and around 10 mins behind the winner. Fairly tame course after all, with only 60% of the advertised 910m climb on the optimum route. Nice and runnable terrain, great map, but not the memorable epic we thought it would end up being.'
Alasdair McLeod said 'I didn't perform as well as I would have liked but learnt a lot from the race which I hope to improve on in the future '
British Results: 28. Hector Haines, 29. Alan Cherry, 37. Alasdair McLeod.
