Ultrasprint qualifying rounds. Pretty scrappy in the maze, and didn't learn from round to round, but ran OK in the park bits.

Went for a run with Rich between the qualifiers and final. A lap of Eccy Woods, out past some kind of model railway, then Lady Springs Wood, and the wood behind Millhouses Park.

Ultrasprint final. Started in 4th place, with Rich Robinson a good minute ahead, but Andy Simpson and John Rocke within 10 seconds. Was with John by the first control, and then Andy had overshot the second so got ahead of him. We all hit the maze together, and then I got mega confused and came out of the maze convinced I had missed a control.

John just gradually pulled away from me over the rest of the course, and I kept Andy a comfortable distance behind me. It was a little bit of a shame we didn't go back into the maze at the end, but it was still a great little course.

Went to download and it turns out I had missed a control, but not in the maze, it was actually the control before the maze. I just hadn't seen it, and thinking back I did wonder where John and Andy had gone! Rich ran really well and only extended his lead in the final.
