Yorkshire Pudding Leeds Chasing Sprint. Race 1, 2.8km. 25km straight line.
Had a perfect run navigationally, running started well but found my knee was in pain on the tarmac and concrete, and slowed my running to a bit of a limp at one stage. Happy with all my routes, bit annoyed by 15 where a mapped blocked enterance was actually open, which cost me a few seconds. Finished behind Nic, but not by much.

Yorkshire Pudding Leeds Sprint Race 2- Chase
Less happy with this race. Didnt like the fact that a few of the many hideously long legs had no real route choice. Think i got it right up until 9. I had seen the tunnel running directly between 8 and 9 and was tempted by it. It was the best route, but halfway in found scafolding and rather than taking it on (it wasn't much) I turned back and took another route, losing about a minute. By 5 Ash had caught me, good to see him doing well on his first race. Outsprinted someone into the finish too, although i don't know if they were on my course.
