SINS Day 3, Corndon
another very enjoyable area and another collapse in form after about 35mins (and around 5km), struggled from that point and couldn't even be bothered to race to the finish with a guy from Devon whom I'd caught at #9, wish I had because I might just have snuck into 5th place

#2 missed 20m left and overshot [45]
#9 missed low, GPS trace has be bang on-line at the path, but I thought I was high because I'd stayed above some rocks, however, I had already descended enough, theexpected marsh didn't appear and nor did the crag, but the real mistake was to forge on by another 100+m, poor decision [3.5mins]

SINS Day 2, Stapeley
I'll get straight to the point: I was knackered after 40mins and about 5.5km, very similiar to yesterday, for the rest of the course I was running on empty, walking on the hills

Haven't been in great form this season, since my return from Tasmania, so with 10 weeks to the Scottish Six day I have work to do

SINS Day 1, Brampton Bryan
good run, but ran out of steam after 35-40mins, lucky the last four or five were downhill

#4 good line to attackpoint but slightly left down the slope, unmapped veg boundary (but on previous map) gave me pause [20]
#6 misread control codes at 5, lost time before punching and then started navigating to #7, missed control right [40]
#8 hesitation in circle, lots of holly reducing visibility [20]
#12 got caught in some thick stuff, probably should have either continued on line of ride or skirted the top of the mid-green [20]

lost chunks of time on pace

4th, 4.5mins behind Andy Thorpe

Holmebrook Valley Country Park
map check on the run, mainly to assess the paths/tracks on Steve K's side, should they be paved or unpaved non-urban

Stanton Moor Spirals
lovely evening, slow to start and didn't improve that much, hard work on the last climb to the trig

retiring the X-talon 212s tonight, after almost 900km, they've been good
