I was just behind you at the start, but being my first mass start event (at Incredibly Cross my bike was moved and most people had gone by the time I found it!) I took the start easy, just holding my position rather than sprinting to gain places. 95% of my overtakes were either up Big Bob, or on the hurdles. The rest were from others making a mistake as they got tired. My quickest laps were my third last and last, i.e when it started to thin out.
Winner passed me just before you dropped down and across the track, so I wasn't too far behind you :0)
