I was going to post and ask how you got on - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I was racing the Standard and didn't have a good race - 1st run was fine, bike started slow and then I had a mechanical at about 10km in and <edits out long tale of woe> so hammered the 2nd run. That run course was very muddy by the time those of us at the back of the Standard field got on to it - I'm not entirely joking when I say I wished I'd had my trail shoes!
