EOC Sprint Final - Mendrisio
42nd
29 degrees, long and hilly sprint is definitely not ideal. Absolutely roasting before I started and the water I'd poured over my head had dried in the 2mins it took to reach the prestart.
I think the heat flustered me a bit as I was quite scrappy through the first few controls and wasn't completely focused. Took the time to plan the long leg and even stopped at the control. As a result, it was actually one of my best splits which doesn't usually happen on such a long leg.
Scrappy through 6 and 7, then leaving 7 I couldn't find the alleyway I'd literally just run through and tried to go in an olive green bit. Absolutely hit the wall climbing the stairs to 14 and was just stumbling around the last loop which was such an unnecessary loop anyway.
