52 mins for the first 8k and then 7 for the last 0.1k!
I found the last control just really difficult to attack. It seemed a bit far right compared with some features. There was an element of madness in what I was doing though, attacking on the same lines and getting the same result. Think I could have worked out logically where it had to be quite a bit quicker than I did.
Another mistake where I got myself turned 90 degrees and thought "odd that that pond is hidden by a ridge" instead of "there is no ridge on the map and I am not by the pond".
Other than that I was alright apart from feeling a tad sluggish.

Bit disappointed, had to work hard for just hovering around 4:00/km. But q a few mitigating factors, and it was 40-45 mins of good hard work
