JK long distance on Braunton. Decided to go out as hard as I could, which seemed like a less good strategy when I binned 1.5 mins at no. 1. I was surprised to see my 3-minute man Oleg there looking for it, and he took off like a rocket once he found it. I spent the first half of the course holding on to the back of him and occasionally had to reel him in again when I tried a different line - he was going really well. Somehow got away and ran the second half alone. Kept pushing hard and managed to stay in control, although the map really wansn't much help. Not a bad run in the end, and hard to begrudge Speakey the overall victory, he well deserved it.

Good warm up and I even used the warm up map, which I hardly ever do (I wanted to know what the grey was - it turned out to be wrongly printed green), and a gentle jog after with Nails.
