KO Sprint Qual - Saint Tropez 3rd=
Classic European alleyway sprint. Felt quite behind on a lot of the navigation and a couple of wrong routes but mostly good. Lots of white van dodging.

KO Quarterfinal - Bormes-les-Mimosas 3rd
Runners choice - I picked C (again!) which I said I was never going to pick again after my last two experiences. But luckily this time it was actually the shortest option.
Came out of that section just behind a French and Norwegian girl and with a slight gap behind, so it was just a case of grinding it all the way up the hill to hold onto top 3.

KO Semifinal - Bormes-les-Mimosas 4th
Chaotic start with it being downhill and straight into the terraced/steps area. Big mistake to 3 following people to the wrong forking. Was a bit behind Maija and Norwegian girl on the second loop, and then they went up the wrong alleyway so I snuck ahead. Thought I was leading but Hanne and French girl were in front from the other forking. Norwegian came past on the uphill to the finish but I managed to hold onto 4th and make the B final.
A very confusing race. I never fully grasped the fact that it was 2 loops with forking until after we had finished. Was too focused on following others when I should've read the map a but more and realised that they weren't going to the same controls.

KO Final - Bormes-les-Mimosas 5th
Much simpler course this time and we knew a lot of the routes by this point. Tried to hang onto Cecile Calandry and the speedy Norwegians but got dropped to 4. Hit the wall on the final climb up to 8 and the finish.

Sprint 'Race' - Nice 2nd +20sec to Maija Sianoja (although most Finns/Norwegians were doing intervals instead of the race)
Much more normal sprint which felt nice after so many slow, fiddly ones. Felt like I had loads of time to plan ahead and managed to have a plan for all legs except for 11 and 12. Which incidentally were the only 2 legs that I took a poor route on.

Bonus course set as 3 intervals around the gardens. Tried to do them fast, but the lactic in my legs hit me pretty suddenly so just jogged around after that.
