Score event, visited 24/37 controls and picked up the 5 bonus points which would have somehow been enough for an outright win, but I decided to fess up about not noticing there was a normal question to answer as well at the bonus control so dropping a point there tied me with the young guys whose names I really must try harder to remember and they were into the finish before I was... No Boswell brothers tonight - but beat Ang! Really thought it was a tactical error to go over the river to get the bonus (I just did it because it looked like the nicest bit of the map for a run) but can't make the comparison as all the quick folks did the same. Must have made an efficient plan when I was back over the river, though I really felt like I was bollixing it up the whole time. Looking at how the 29 controls were distributed on the "home" side of the river, I guess you'd have to really know what you were up to to get them all in the 45 minutes, so really clever course setting by Andie. Despite still coughing and spluttering all day, didn't feel I was struggling on the flat (died on every uphill though) so feeling a bit happier about where I'm at than I did on Saturday. Will be interesting to see how k-rate compares to the rest of this series, though the hill in the middle of the map will have had a major influence and with no contours I've just put in an arbitrary figure for climb
