Solid runs by Jamie and Nathan put me out in 5th about 10sec behind an Irish team and 3min to Nixon.
Went past Irish very quickly and then just pushed hard. Pretty sore and tired but dug in and the nav was good enough in a fun area. Some wobbles in some vague stuff but nothing major. Then about 4 short controls from the end saw Nixon standing still. "I've been here for 5min". I knew where we were and so about 5sec later dropped into control.
Went into head to head mode so dropped the pace and led going very slowly and constantly looking behind. Then when I saw the second to last control I dropped the hammer and went for it a long way out. Unfortunately Nixon didn't give up until a bit up the run in so made it quite painful but job done.
What I didn't realise afterwards was everyone had different gaffles for 2nd to last control. Luckily Nixon and I had the same but didn't factor this in equation.
Nice to win overall for England too.
