Edinburgh City race. Open 35/96
A monster tour taking in Dumbiedykes, Royal Mile and the Exchange, start and finish in the meadows.
Won by Spongey in just over 59, it was a bit of an epic. Much of the time I was quickly, decisively and accurately executing the wrong routechoice. I guess that didn't turn out too badly, since it was very tricky. Four significant losses #4 was in the wrong place due to building work - went straight there, then checked the code for #5 so flapped about a bit -30s. 13 left the site in the wrong direction -40s 23 misread the desription so ran down the wrong alley -40s and then went all the way round Morrison St to exit the exchange at 31 -90s. A few hesitations and missteps too, and mega-nervous of steep muddy descents: had to shuffle down the slope into Dumbiedykes on me bum and walk down the muddy bit in the Park. No chance of running tomorrow!
