Cribyn Fell (over) race

This race was I'd been looking forward to all year. Over the past few months I've had my ups and downs with running, it's included a coastal marathon in which i did terrible and didn't enjoy and the Pentyrch fell race which i loved and done really well, so i entered this race with all guns blazing and determined to do well.
I was well aware of the route of the race and had my race plan in my head. As the race started i was pleased with my positioning in the field (about 10th) and felt good leading up to the first check point. After the first check point there was a sharp uneven descent to the base of cribyn and it's at this point it all went wrong. As i descended i twisted my ankle and fell for about 10m. I was gutted,my ankle was in pain and runners were flying pass me. I managed to get myself together after some cursing and hobble to the base of cribyn. As i started to climb to the top of cribyn (on my hands and knees) i found myself over taking runners and my ankle's pain easing. The descent down cribyn was pain full but it was eased with the run up pen y fan. The run down from pen y fan to the finish wasn't bad as my ankle pain had eased but it didn't stop me from getting over taken by a number of runners.
If there is one thing ive learnt from this race it's that I'm good on the ascents but crap on the descents. ( do i dare look at the results when they are published)
