Solid race, according to ap only Brian May and I had clean runs on this course. Now there's clean and clean...
Anyway, no major balls, pretty good, but got very tired around 20. Decision-making ability slowed right down. Kept pushing as best I could, but dropped time towards the end. Sports gel/drink might have been wise.
Was running with Nick B and Vitek P for a bit in the middle (the technical part) but didn't get much help from them.
Fun race, went into it with good attitude, a bit of confidence, and I enjoyed it. Map was good again, just got stuck in one patch of man-eating green-briar. I was worried by control 8 or 9 that it was just going to be a long middle, but then the long legs hit. Great course.
