1. | Didn't get the through route but didn't lose much time. Went left, looks it might be a bit quicker than right | ||||||
2. | Downhill, so picked up a place to 6th overall, the best it would get | ||||||
3. | Chose left, looks like it was a little quicker (Shingo +16secs) | ||||||
4. | Left again, not much in it (Shingo +3 secs) | ||||||
5. | |||||||
6. | |||||||
7. | Right this time, clearly quicker than left (Undy +15 secs, Shingo +19secs) | ||||||
8. | OK, the wheels are coming loose. 16m climb and I place 31st on the leg and drop out of 7th place. | ||||||
9. | Still puffing, not much between right and left. 25th on the leg, and dropped to 10th. | ||||||
10. | Downhill, but I still lose 10 secs to Barbara Hill | ||||||
11. | Got some time back - looks like left is quicker (Shingo -1sec, Undy +25) | ||||||
12. | Still running in quicksand, 28th on the leg and now down to 12th. | ||||||
13. | +00:20 | A mistake! Looks like everybody in the top 20 got the shortcut except for me and Undy - I lose 22 seconds on Barbara Hill, which is enough. | |||||
14. | A second wind and 8th place on the leg | ||||||
15. | More uphill, but tough it out for 20th place and a time loss to those around me of between 5 to 10 seconds | ||||||
16. | Sprinting | ||||||
17. | Fast | ||||||
