Night Sprint race at Randpark Golf Course.
Thought we would be running on the Randpark course, so bit surprised when we turned left out of the start onto the Windsor course. Lost a few secs readjusting mentally, but still managed 2nd best split to #1.
Thereafter settled down, and seem to have got all the route choices right. One or two instances where I wasn't running on the straightest line, but I picked out the features well in the dark. Ran the two big uphill pulls to #13 and #18 poorly, so the main area that I still need to focus on. Also poor into the finish (uphill).
Otherwise okay. Seem to have got a lot of 3rd place splits behind Mike and Brad, so am happy. 3rd overall as well, about 2.5 mins down and about 1 min ahead of Eugene.
