shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
NOL long at poppethead in Newcastle. Really happy with this run, ran smoothly from the start and tried to keep a consistent pace so I wouldn't blow up at the end. Little 30 sec error at 3 - looking in the wrong erosion gully, another 30 sec going to 6 when I started to run up the first track, 30 sec at 8 when I got distracted by Alex coming into the control, 30 sec at 11(long control) coming into the control, got confused on the track and came into the green before control. 1 min on 16 with a bad route to start and a poor entry to control. Really happy with this first loop but still a few things to work on with entry into controls. Last loop lost another 2.5 mins over 18, 19 and 20. Was really jumpy as I knew I was just in front at spectator. Just got the win which was good but still have room to improve :)
