Never really got going. Found it hard to push myself in all three phases: the initial woods were rocky underfoot, and mostly uphill, the fellside up above was marshy, and the return to the woods very slippy indeed, especially on the traverses. Slow, hesitant, long route to #2 cost me a minute, and a few other minor time losses, but slept very poorly all week and legs felt really weak. Jon X was a couple of mins ahead of me, with Martin Ward a couple of mins ahead of him I think.
