Run race 1:21:04 [4] *** 13.2 km (6:08 / km) +290m 5:32 / km
spiked:22/25c
Didn't get a brilliant night's sleep before this - noise carried in the place where I was staying and someone saw fit to watch the 5am Christian TV shows. By 6.30 I had definitely heard the word 'Jesus' enough times to feel in a blasphemous mood.
The warm-up didn't really work that well and I felt sluggish on the first couple of legs, also missing 2 a little. Settled well after then into the pattern of the area, long bland transport legs in between areas of interesting detail. (The last time I was at Gunapin, the Middle Champs in 2003, we were mostly in the semi-open, but didn't see much of that until the end). Pretty smooth through the middle stages, only missing a little at 15. There was then an annoying time loss at the end - 1.5 minutes on the third-last control - but I thought something was strange on the map there and Tooms and Fletch confirmed afterwards that the control was misplaced. (It's extremely rare for me to screw up an otherwise good run at the end, and I'm not sure whether this should be added to the list). Physically a reasonable run but not stellar, but a nice hit-out in pleasant terrain.
Craig didn't finish and neither did Fletch (he punched an inorrectly-numbered 24 which was about as far from the centre of the circle in the opposite direction as the correctly numbered one - would have done 87 otherwise). Tooms and Oscar were in the mid-90s.
