Started ok through first 9 controls and didn't lose much time, just a little slow. Then took the long road option to no.10 where Greg Barbour had caught me 2 minutes. We ran together till no.12 but I was just to the right of it then kept going further away from the control. Lost 4 min then was scrappy to no.13 and got caught by Shep and Steve going to no.14. We ran the next bit together but then Shep hammered us up the hill to no.19 and that was the last we saw of him. The last half hour of the course ran with Steve. Finished in 6th, 17 min down on Shep, 10 min down on Macey.
