Scorcher, especially early on and away from The Bay. Took some indirect lines on purpose to stay in the shade as long as possible. Thankfully it cooled down a bit towards the end.
Lots of overall route choice with the top guys going slightly different ways. Think I chose a good unique route: 4-23-29-13-7-18-1-17-27-11-19-14-26-30-15-6-28-24-22-21-10-9-2-20-25-3-16.
Left out 5 & 8 - marginal whether I had time to get them but should've had a crack. Also should've got 10 as an out-and-back from 26 as originally planned instead of leaving it as a maybe for the way back.
Scored 580, well back from Glenn(43), Richard(44) & Andy(44) 600's.
Stopped at #3 to help Stuart M who was laying down in the shade dehydrated. Made sure he was ok then ran to the finish get him some water then waited for 30mins until he recovered enough to get a car ride to the finish.
