East Lavant
RED TEAM
Starting at the bottom of Chalk Pit lane, this is a direct track up to the Trundle, so best for those who don't want to test their navigational skills! Hard under foot all the way, but tricky sections to navigate and you certainly don't miss out on the views.
Parking: Only a few spaces at the bottom , Please be considerate when parking in the village
The Start!
All that training, all that mental preparation, has all built up to this moment!
The Fast Bit
If only it was all as easy as this. Still, you're eating up the miles...
The "Chalk Pit Dance"
One false move can catch you out on these bits as you hop from ridge to ridge. First view of the finish - a long way away!
The Respite
Shake off the lactic acid, it's flattening out, get the speed up again. This bit does seem to go on for ever though
The "Why did I do this?" bit
Use the cheers from the spectators, use all mental stamina you've got, but make sure you keep something in reserve for the final push!
THE RACE IS ON!
At the car park, a quick wave to the masses and then turn right for the final assault to the top. At this point you may be able to see the other competitors coming from the left, the race is on!
