BOK Blast Day 1 - Mens Vet (M35+)
Ok until total meltdown at number 19
Leading at no.4 through Brandon Hill (probably helped by planning here in 2013).
5-6 poor route - wnet south out of control, instead of north (more climb and longer) - 30 seconds
13-14 - Slightly confused by map coming out of control, and went through gate when didn't need to - 15 seconds
16-17 - first time loss due to not bothering reading info in final details about going under dark brown roads, so my route was slightly longer - 30 seconds
18-19 - first meltdown - ran a rather long way around up a few steps and a ramp, when I could just have gone straight - a leg that should have taken sub 50 seconds took me 3:49 - 3 minutes
19-20 - again another meltdown and not paying attention to fact there was no way out north or east from Hotwells (inside ring road!!) - and then missed the simple route using spiral staircase - 4 minutes
Dropped from 3rd to 15th in these tow legs
22 - overshot - 20 seconds
lost getting on for 9 minutes!!! Should have been 2nd or 3rd!!!
Enjoyable race though, just frustrated with myself for not reading details (can I use excuse that my mind was on tomorrow)
