| 6. | Clean, catching people up again. | |
| 7. | Clean, overtake a couple of runners. | |

| 14. | Time Lost: 01:00 | Starting looking too soon, approaching from west. Caught Eddie at last, but didn't know if he was leading. |

| 17. | Time Lost: 03:00 | Got really tired climbing to the saddle on the straight line. Attacked from a road bend, but too vague. |

| 22. | Time Lost: 01:00 | Slight hesitation to (i). Saw someone else coming into the window, not far behind me. |
| 23. | Clean to (j). Drank but didn't eat at the First Aid point. Thought I was 3rd, but was told I was 2nd, 9 mins behind. At least there was no point in chasing, and that would have hurt. | |
