Orton Bradley. Super physical as expected, pretty slow through the first few controls what with the big climb to 2 and discovering the tracks were no faster than surrounding forest 2-3-4. But got up to 'speed' on the big valley crossing leg and the climbs on the second half of the course were slightly more gentle. Small misses in the circle at 2 and 7 and a bit of a bigger one at 11 (probably set up by a less than ideal route choice). And while I thought I nailed 9-10, Winsplit says I lost time here as well - so either not the best route choice after all or I lost more time finding a good line out of 9 than I realised.

Note to self: 25

Commute home. Indirect to the river, following it up to Hagley then across to the rail path up as far as Wairakei Rd before doubling back on what I hoped was the correct street to lead me home - turns out I can trust my sense of direction sometimes. Slow start but got into it eventually.

Back to this. Not every morning though
