today was the ultrasprint which consisted of 3 prologues all around 1km with about 25 controls each, and a final of around 30control... was really good fun, although not super technically difficult - i really had no problems in the last 3 races but made some royal stuff ups in this first one which probably cost me a place in the final, as i placed 24th in this first one then 2nd and 3rd in the next two prologues.... a gate had been shut on one control, and it consequentially was moved to outside the gate and we were told this at the start but i completely forgot when i actually got to the control so was running around an oob like a headless chicken... i also got a time penalty for punching one tree too far on a row of tree.... as i had counted the number of controls not the number of actual trees when deciding which it was on... so a bit all over the place but i guess i got the hang of it and did well in the next two.
Legs were feeling tired but could actually move today so was able to get a bit of pace which was a nice change.... feeling pretty wrecked in the final though and by now very tired looking forward to a bath!
