Really enjoyed it!
Started quite quickly and latched onto a guy who took a good line around the second pyramid and then cut the right fence corner. He took a great line into the left fence corner and suddenly we were close to Ryno and ahead of Jock Green. I used Rob's sneak to get even with Ryno and tried to hold on. Passed 2 guys who were having a sit down at CP2. Some decent lines around the back of Versierskerf and into CP3 had me in 6th! Was feeling pretty awful at that stage, so stopped to test my blood sugar. Turned out to be 19 - eish! Took 2 units of insulin. I got caught by Jock, Jogie, and 3 others. I got dropped by all of them as I had some bad quad cramps (blood sugar?). A good line through the dongas and some 4:30k's got me back into 10th, which I was happy with.
GPS route coming soon.
