UNE, Armidale. OK run, but disappointing not to have any real zip. Ducked out of the start to the right straight away, but it didn't pay off. Didn't get the best line to 2 and climbed unnecessarily. Saw the right route to 5 both on the map and on the ground, but didn't take it (??). 7 was a long haul up, this is where I needed some turbo-power. First actual mistake was not taking the right hand route choice to 9. Closely followed by not seeing that the throughway did go through at 10 - it is technically correct on the map, but the thick building edge actually looks a bit like the impassable wall symbol, and in this case it is drawn over part of the canopy opening on both sides. I would have left off the paving edge line, to make it clearer.
5th in Men B, way behind Mike Burton (15:06).
