Fast area, with a maze in the middle, which I tried to do quickly and ended up losing about 5 mins in there because I would run off and then lose my position, and then have to relocate by wandering around until i found a distinctive feature. The rest of the course was easy, and only lost about 1 min total elsewhere, mainly because I wasn't looking around and completely missed the bridge that led straight to no. 3 and i went all the way to the next one only to come within metres of where I had been a minute previously. Still won by about 6 mins though.

Felt slow for the first half and had shin splints so wasn't going flat out, then the second half I felt fine and was still late, which was probably because of being slow around the early part and being indecisive on the last loop.

3 races, our team won overall, only being beaten on the last one by Katrins Team, but they didn't get the correct total, so we were the first correct team. Got very muddy chasing Chris O on the first one, not a really physical or technical area really though .
