spiked:22/26c shoes: Inov Mudroc 290
Arrived in good time for a warm up on the park, and was a little worried by how few people were wearing vests but nevertheless i started ready and rearing to go! Wasn't going at 100% as i didn't particularly want to run headlong into someone coming round the corner! fist mistake at #5 when i wasn't sure upon the best route there, in the end i ran across the oob road along with many others! Then the biggy, leg 10-11, i ventured via 14 and 15 ruining my entire run by wasting 2mins. This was cause because the connector lines from 9-10 and 14-15 were in a very similar plane and looked like they connected up. Day 1 = Fail (Gold = 21:36 Silver = 25:56, 2.7km 30m)
