Bedlam Point, Gladesville. Well timed, but still sub-optimal run. Yet again stuffed up the finish, bypassing no. 25 right at the end which would have been an easy 30 pointer. That would have added 240m to my route or a bit over 1 minute - so I might have lost 10 or 20 points, still worth it. Or, I should have dropped 15 and got 25 instead: 15 was also 240m extra, but had an extra 10m climb which I struggled on - that would have been an extra 10 points. The wobbles at 1 (stopped too early), 24 (should have just crashed through the green from 13), 30 (ran past it - map shows it N of the junction; it wasn't) and leaving 20 (started to run around but tempted by the unmapped steps so came back) means I should have been able to get 25 without being late, so an extra 30 points. Scored 520, which I don't think will cut it.
