CompassSport Cup Final, Virtuous Lady, Dartmoor. Blue. 3rd.
Didn't feel like I was running especially fast, and was struggling with making progress on the very muddy/slippery steep slopes. Technically reasonably good, though I lost 30 secs on #1 just working out which crag was which.
Was very surprised when I came through the spectator control and was announced as being a few seconds in the lead on the course (though that was Blue "Cup" - I was several minutes behind Quentin on Blue "Trophy"). Steady last loop to ensure I didn't lose time on some intricate controls. And I paused a few seconds catching my breath before attempting to win the golden boot run in trophy. (Murray Strain won it a second faster than me and a few others).
About 40 seconds slower than Bill, but 4 minutes slower than Quentin competing in the Trophy match. At least I beat Clive and Jon, and therefore did my bit to help SYO in the Cup. We finished 3rd, FVO 2nd, BOK 1st.
