O at Balmain which was mostly streets. I don't know why they didn't use the good bits in the area!
This was one of my worst attempts so far. I felt very tired from the start due to being in the middle of a big block of training. Tried to drag myself around the course running with Richard Green now and then. Rolled my bad ankle ripping through the tape again near no.30 so I had to slow down for the next 5 or so minutes and later lost over a minute at no.11 looking around a bare rock which was in the description but the control had been placed closer to the road. I actually gave up on the control and started to go to the next when I luckily saw it out of the corner of my eye. It's becoming a recurring theme with this year's Summer Series, wrong control placements! The last 2km were my fastest, only because I wanted to finish on time. Got all controls with 20+ seconds to spare, a minute behind Glenn Horrocks.
