That was a blowout, literally. Staggered up the hill from the start and was puffing like a steam train by the time I got to the triangle. Onwards and upwards to the first control, then a bit more friendly cross country through to 5. Got too relaxed going downhill to 6 and completely lost the plot - going around in a big circle to repeat the mistake didn't help. Stumbled through to 10 and had to sit on a rock for a breather, much to the concern of Anthea and a guy I don't know. Pondered the next 2 legs of uphill and decided to call it quits. I hate DNFing but it was just too hot and too hard.
