Decent run. It was hard work in the rain and mud. Only a couple of controls I really feel went wrong:
#4 - which I missed right, and hit the path... A minute or more here
#13 - a little wobbly, but still hit it first time
#15 - drifted left far too far along the road (came out at the church), had to come back at least 150m before diving it to hit the control. Stupid really: lost some unnecessary time.
#17 - not an error, just a little indirect which probably cost
Quite happy though. Caught Richard Barrett at #5, and although he got away from me by #7, I managed to keep seeing him until #12 with some direct routes, and again on #28 (when I went direct). Finished two minutes up, but still 5mins down on the lead. Second place
