OO Cup E1 - 9th (+3:21)
Solid race - first time beating OBT!
Started sloppyish, and lost 15s to 1, going to 5 instead. Clean through the next bit, but some 3 - 5s issues. Possibly a bad route to 6, but hit it cleanly, and a lot of the others didn't so could have been worse.
Small 10s issue on 7, then looked up and spotted OBT heading to 8. Went left on the long one to 9, which was worse than straight I think. Hit it well and OBT came in just behind me (clearly messed it up).
So, was with him through 10-12, the trickiest area, and it was nice to get a pull through here, and watch his impressive speed. He went right to 13, I went left, missed 20s, but he missed more so I was ahead. Another 20s miss on 14, and in comes OBT again. The rest was pretty easy, running hard, watching Olivier lose me, but good fun.
Not the trickiest area, but good to properly push myself, I need to do more of this in races abroad.
