Cycling (To/from Station) 44:13 [3] 15.32 km (2:53 / km)
To/from St Pancras. On the way there, exited the canal towpath at 11:25 - a record. On the way back (at 1am in the morning) again took the canal towpath, which had a lot of standing water on it.

Sheffield City Chase - Prologue. Gently raining throughout, so care taken on the tiled and paved surfaces. N.B. Time/distance doesn't include two legs which were removed due to a confiscated control.
Made a 45 second mistake at the control by mistaking the control description for the start one, so ending up on the wrong side of the fence. Very annoying. Got overtaken by GG at speed half-way around.
Nearly didn't make it to today's race as managed to wake up after the train had left. However, was able to get a later (and faster, but much more expensive) one which got me there just in time to start.

Sheffield City Chase - Final. Raining a bit harder this time. The middle section had a series of traps I fell into, followed by a really complicated (and confusing) section in a multi-storey car park. In the latter quarter of the race, I tired a lot, and dropped my pace right off (although was careful not to lose any more places).
A great series of races - the sprint format makes the area quite technical, and mistakes were made by all. The event venue was great too - it was the Sheffield Hallam University Student Union building, a series of interconnected giant kettle-drums.
Walking (To Station) 42:00 [1] 4.5 km (9:20 / km)
Brisk walk from Paddington to St Pancras to pick up bike.
