heavy legs, good route choice challenges here, got some right (#7, #11) and some wrong (#13, #15)
#2 hesitation as I plumped for going right [5]
#7 paused to assess routes, then got a shock when I thought I'd found a dead end - the crossable wall wasn't visible [20]
#13 didn't see the righthand route and plumped for familiar terrain, also went up steps when the grass would've been quicker [20]
#14 continued in direction I was facing, but should've turned around to go through the gap (was losing focus) [10]
#15 don't know why I opted for the righthand path through the wood, it was clearly slightly further [5]
9th, only 9secs from 6th place (dammit), although my target was to be within 3mins of the winner (i.e. James) and I managed that: 2mins 16secs
