South SSS. Brooner and I decided we'd try one mass-start without looking at the map beforehand, which definately made it more interesting. Lost some serious time in the NW due making a vague route-choice which backfired as there were several non-intuitive dead ends (mapped correctly). got through the rest and skipped a couple of controls (rightly) to get back a couple minutes over and ?30? points skipped. equal first with Karl Definately a good way to get a bit more out of the more mundane maps. Figured Brooner definately beat me, but got back to find out he had been taken to hospital having cut up his hand. Still waiting for photo evidence.
Oscar did the "mini" course (2k) and loved it. Results say he mispunched, but pretty sure the controls were just mis-programmed, as we actually have a video of him punching one of them!

went back to the office after SSS to do some London hours stuff in a quiet office. ended up cycling home at 1am, which wasn't as horrible as you'd expect.

Another midnight commute. legs really stiff and heavy
really terrible night sleep, maybe a couple more beers than required, and oscar being a nuisance, but mostly legs really restless. wondering if theres something else i could be doing for it (magnesium, protein, more massage etc). woke up really stiff, which i never would have expected after the last 2 days.

pretty clean run, but with a number of 5-10 second hesitations as flags were pretty small and collapsed, and locked wierdly through the punch hole mostly. Lost 60s or so on a short track that didn't exist, but looks like everyone else lost close to 3minutes on a long non-existant track that meant bushbashing, so i guess this one is a bit of a win-by-default. Route i think was pretty ideal, minimising climbing and trail, although i could have skipped the last bit of spit-manly trail more efficiently. Cleared with 4minutes to spare, and legs feeling pretty bloody good.

slept very poorly, and legs a lot worse than i expected when i woke up. relaxed a bit through the morning... but this cycle in was MAGIC! legs felt progressively better the whole way, and now feel almost perfect through the day. Interesting though, that my brain is almost dead enough that commuting was a bit dangerous. Might mean that yesterday i spent a bit too much mental energy in the second half unnecessarily stressing about Jordan's progress, being very late for a family engagement, and navigating. Need to learn to stay relaxed mentally in all conditions.
