second, one minute behind Stephane Toussaint. I thought the big challaenge would be from LL, but he made a big route choicce error at the 14th...
made a couple of bloomers, notably left the 15th as if it wer the 16th; descended and had to run back up the hill, losing a couple of minutes and was back in the leading pack of three.
mass start, spent quite a bit of the first ten controls n the lead,
very tired after the race, having run without camelbak, also sore - legs ripped to shreds... it was fun seeing what i could do, but not very intelligent :)
actually started tiring after 1:20, but it made more of a diff mentally than physically. kept running hard until close to the end.
don't want to do route or race analysis here.... suffice to say ST had a steadier run than me, i read contours better in general but he corrected mistakes faster... several places where the race was lost, once or twice orienteering wise, a couple of times in brambles!!!
