Brutal! Probably one of the worst I've ran in a race for a long time. At the start I was smirking at people with mini water bottles on belts and these ultra water vests. It was up and down all the way out and back and finished down the hedges. People that have participated in the national train championships will know roughly where we were running. I finished 106th in 55.28 and Joanne 54th in 46.18 (9th female).
Overall results after 5 days: Joanne 46th in 2:15:36 and 9th female. Me 91st in 2:37:37
It was a good mixture of races, but hill runners will always win the battle over a road runner. For example, the 4th placed girl ran a PB in the 5k TT of 18:29, but Joanne beat her by 22 sec in the 10k trail.

Well done both. A great string of back-to-back performances. A few easy days required now for sure. You will both definitely get a fitness boost from that if you take it easy for a week or two but still do some gentle training. By the way, which one are you George, hill runner or road runner? :-)
