Not as warm today although still warm. Not as interesting an event as the sprint unfortunately. More police and closed roads though! Rather than timed-out crossings...
A few 51-49 route choices that I got wrong, and the best-planned leg of the whole course 5-6 which I got wrong too, arrgh, which was probably worth 30s (Jack and I both messed this up and we thought it was a bigger mistake, but splits tell us it wasn't) - it's really hard to see why we read it wrong - we wanted to avoid going down a steep hill - but both routes had these - and also to avoid a complicated way into the control. Would have been worth a 5s pause to think about it more.
A few other choices I got wrong, and ran through an OOB police station and was shouted at, but otherwise largely a runners course. Scenic, though.
Please with the position and don't think it would have changed without the injury as per yesterday; still uncomfortable to run though.

Jack successfully persuaded me this was a good idea. Quite enjoyed it actually; easy to motivate yourself when it's warm. Would love to do this before work. Maybe NY resolution?
