25th of 31
So missed getting top 20 every day but aim of overall top half achieved, 15th overall of 35. Sneaked ahead of Martin by 0.9 of a point overall (out of max 4000, after nearly 8 hours of racing).
Another very different area but really good again. Not a good run for me today though. Always going to be struggling for pace today so needed to keep it clean, dropped 20s at #6 but then a right mess of the second half, 50s at #13, 10s at #15 and a disastrous 45s at the penultimate, #20. Probably 5-10s dithering my way to the last too.
Winner was world champ Marten Bostrom in 15:11, Dave did 18:52, Martin 19:20. Lucky Martin wasn't 2s quicker or me 2s slower!
