Streatham Common park race
Legs woke up a bit and mostly navigated smoothly through some tricky bits, except #17 where I inexplicably got it right, then got it wrong, then got it right again. Can’t have cost me more than 10-15 seconds though.

WMOC long A final - 30th
Just ran out of juice a bit for this one. Both in the legs and mentally. I wasn’t quite as well suited to the area with a bit more vegetation and even though it wasn’t that heavy I found it hard going at times to keep up a decent pace.
Technically I wasn’t as diligent about picking out clear features and it showed up in wobbles on most controls plus a couple of proper mistakes needing relocation. Each time I was on a good line but not with enough precision or confidence.
All in all a good 7-8 mins off what I might have been able to do feeling fresh.
About +35% on the winner

WMOC middle A final - 24th
Very pleased with this run. Having been safe in the qualifying I wanted to push on a bit in an area that I knew suited me. 24th was a decent improvement on my qualifying position (around 40th). The area was harder technically and a bit more up and down than most of the qualifying.
I was on the edge most of the time as a result of pushing the pace. As a result there were a couple of wobbles: on the way to #14 I drifted and almost crossed a ride well to the right of the line. I corrected it into a half-decent route but only nervously. Plus a few cases where I was hoping rather than expecting to see the feature/control.
Had some good head to head racing with Jaroslav Tomes towards the end who I'd caught by 4 mins.
About +26% on the winner (who was not Osterbo)
