The Horror, the horror!!! I had a good start, taking the left route to 1. Not far of the top split. Legs were pretty broken after that. I then had a painful #2 - I must have been within 2m of the bloody thing, but didn't see it. After a grid search I found it - very frustrating. Contrived to make a 90deg error to #3 - still not too sure how that happened. Possibly I was trying too hard after the frustration of #2. By then my race was over! My motivation plummeted as the event was just a slog with needless climb reducing it from a technical to a physical challenge. Not fun & quite demotivating.

O Sprint race (Sprint) 20:21 [5] *** 3.2 km (6:22 / km)
ahr:185 max:195 spiked:17/22c shoes: Asics Cumulus 2009
Quite stressful being the organiser, worrying about the timing and preparing for a good run. At the end I was happy with my run, but felt a bit slow. The course was a good mixture of longer, hard-running legs and shorter, slower, high-concentration through the buildings legs. The controls I got wrong were #3 - ending up below the uncrossable wall, then having to go around, #9 - not reading the map well enough, so I was hesitant and #16 - leaving #15 I got myself a little trapped by the vegetation forcing me to take a longer way round.
