Very frustrating. It was really quite a tough race. Lots of controls, lots of changes in direction, low vis pines that you are constantly zig-zagging around and very little on the map to go by. So it was all about direction, and you got punished for slight deviations. Made lots of small mistakes, but only one that really annoyed me after seeing Blair and thinking I was about to catch him (turns out I passed him shortly after but never saw him). Physically fine, although never really thought I was running much.
