EYOC relay
First leg in a team of me and Harry.
Mass start was mental and by the second field on the long first leg i was 50m behind the pack. Small misses in the first few and hesitant on 5. Hit 6 with the Danish first leg runner but lost him on 7 when a routechoice error lost me over 2 mins. Good until spectator then made a 5min mistake on 16 which was undoubtedly a very easy control as a ride led into it from the track. Couldn't relocate so had to resort to the track and saw Magnus going in the direction of it. He didn't have the same control but mine was only about 20m away. Losing stamina after this mistake but spiked 18 well leading Eoin into it but he ran ahead up the track. Handed over to Harry in 16th 11mins down but after that race i'm not surprised.
