Long Final - lost about 5/6mins on 1 booo due to major track on map disappearing on me!! I was in the right place as well!!
Rest went as well as possible though - heat nearly killed me - hurt a lot going to 8 and 9 and then at 12 I had to stop in sight of the control to sit in the shade and have a drink before it was possible to carry on! crawled to 13 and 14 and finish!

Rode the sprint race after every1 had finished - good practice with the map before tomorrow, lost a couple of mins on 5 where I overshot on intricate paths after bombing it off a tarmac road.
Couple of scrappy moments but on the whole not too bad :-)
2 punctures that sealed thanks to Joe's!

Ride to the start by guessing....route had been taken down and I didnt want to look at the map before I got there.
Baking hot!!

woc Middle final, hotter than yesterday with later start times. Felt better riding today but my head was all over the place in the heat, made a good 25mins of nav error including a 22min leg... Very disapointed after yesterdays ride, still the final of the long to come and I've given up making mistakes! I know I need to slow down and concentrate and it will go well! And possibly not be interviewed right before starting...once 1 and 2 went badly that didn't help

Ride to start and back from finish, ride back was at hottest part of day, sweaty ...

Ride to start of long qualifier

Long qualifier, still struggling with heat si feeling fairly powerless, rode slow but had clean ride, found many thorns in tyre after! Swimming pool at the finish is an amazing idea
