Decent performance. Realised I brought the wrong shoes which may have helped a little on the steep slopes but pleased all the same. Didn't really rate the course massively, another middle with as many controls squeezed in as possible. The area was though a meant keeping in contact was key.
Was a little scrappy in a few places in the mining works after catching Tom Dobra (2mins) early on. So I was pleased to be able to start running once out on the tops, saw Ben (2mins behind) a bit close on the out and back section so put my foot down a bit and pulled back away. Nice to be on the back of the 'fast boys'
