slept:6.0 shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 22 Blue
SWOC street-o around Cardiff city centre, from Canton. Slightly different to usual with more points available (640), and then 50 point bonuses for each quadrant of the map completed. Was not particularly keen to start so, although had a plan from the start, just went out to enjoy it rather than take seriously.
S-30-40-20-31-42-15-14-34-52-24-35-25-43-37--27-53-36-26-16-22-50-10-F. Completed eastern two quadrants - so finished with the win and 200 points clear of 2nd.
The running side went quite well, but flow was poor - combination of difficult to read map, and a huge amount of traffic to deal with. Planned so that it was really hard to find a good route to get all the controls and a few obvious ones I should have got in a different order - 17 with 15 and 37 between 43 and 27 - these 2 were the hardest to fit in. Maybe also should have left 31 for the return.
Had aimed to complete 3 quadrants and not explore much of the awkward looking SW but only had 12 mins or so when crossing the Taff and thought it was a good 2-3k back to the finish so had to drop 21 and 11 from the NW quadrant. In hindsight, had time to get 11. If I did better route in the SE, put 31 on the way back, and didn't stop to go to the loo in the park then should have managed it.
Unfortunately pulled ankle a bit treading on the detached flat part of a traffic cone that had been put on the pavement by the coach stops - was looking at map at time thinking no hazards. It hurt for a few hundred yards then was fine, but now have shoes off it is a bit sore. Hopefully nothing serious and will be ok for Sunday.
