BOF rankings email....’you came 1st on Sunday and this was your 29th best score in the past 12 months’.
Surprised to find I have done 29 ranking events....and even more surprised that although I thought it was a decent enough run, I was obviously mistaken...

Avoided the worst of the weather....cut this a bit short to get started while the sun was out!

Dunfermline urban.
Took a little while to get running and to warm my brain up into things (perils of a truncated warmup).
Didn’t do anything massively wrong but various little time losses, mostly caught quickly. Never spotted until afterwards that #16 could be approached from the north and went all the way round.
Took the win but rather fortuitously, 7secs ahead of Chad (who lost 2mins running 4-15-5) with Mark J 2mins quicker than me but mispunching in the parkland late on.
Decent varied area for it with plenty of scope for trickiness and route choice.

Extended warmdown with some tourism/exploring. Not sure why I have never been to Dunfermline to see the abbey etc, it looks worth a visit.
