Sufferfest. Made a slight mistake on 3, running along the top path too long then things didn't make sense. Maybe this caused extra stress and caused the suffering!
Or maybe it was the short sharp climbs that got to me.
Took the longer route to 17 and missed the control, for some reason was expecting the control on the other side of the path...
Took a minute to recover enough at the finish to make it to download.

Better than this morning.
Felt much easier...I did think a couple of times during the race 'Am I pushing hard enough?'. But it seemed to work out all right.
A bit hesitant into 2 as it felt like I'd gone a long way down the path already.
Right on 4, wasn't sure but turned out good.
Apparently it was quicker to go left on 13!?
Think the biggest execution mistake was bananaring the run in!
