Had another decent run, coming very close to Brad and Mike, within a minute.
Steady start and managed to mantain a good clean rhythm through the short control picking sequence from 5-18. Made a 20s mistake leaving #3 when I didn't attack the green enough and ended up running to much on paths. Then slightly too far left to #9. Had the wrong attack angle to #14 and then not enough attack speed to #18.
Didn't win any splits, but still managed to take the lead at #17 and #18 by about 30s. Lost it on the long leg to #19 however, where I'm probably 20s slow because of a lack of plan for the leg. Got caught a bit not knowing where I was. Then also had a bad plan to #20. Final 2 controls were just slow.
Well executed legs to #5, 10, 11, 12, 15.
