Warm up before the sprint. Did a little bit of a jog with Colm and then some strides. Feeling pretty good before the start and ready to try a little to open out the legs.

IOC Sprint - WIT Campus - DSQ
At the start I was in two minds about taking it chilled or pushing hard. After about 4 controls I was feeling good and it was going well so I kept pushing on. Saw 8 was a 'which side' control and used the Yannick descriptions techinquie to check it out. Was unsure whether I could run down the earthbank to 10 but check it out on the way to 9. Saw a gap in the green hedge on my map and thought yes I can! (you couldn't, it was olive). Then Colm M came up it which verified it for me. Was very confused by how to actually get into 9 then. Was solid then for the next bit. Saw Darren who had started 2 mins after me when I was going to 17 and I reckoned I wasn't too far behind. Kept pushing as I thought a decent time might be on the cards. Few funny stairs controls nearly caught me out, then I crossed the olive twice more... Nearly went to 22 instead of 26 but caught it at the last second. Legs were tying up quite a bit for the last bit then.
Speed was actually ok ish and I was 13th before being being disqualified (after I told Andrew and there was a protest).

Cool down with a big group. Everyone was finished so back around the area. Had a little look at the controversial areas. Nice to have some chats and good post race banter.
