7th/34, quite pleased, much better than last night. With a perfectly clean run and no route choice mistakes could've managed 6th I reckon, but not a fast enough runner to get any higher than that.
30s loss on #3, missed the good way in and ran all the way around.not sure why, it wasn't hard to see the best route, and I want planning ahead or anything at that point.
#17, 15s loss due to open gate being directly underneath purple overprint; tried to go through but was shouted at so turned round - I think they'd posted someone there when they realised they should've broken the line.
#20, 15s route choice loss,not bad on a 7 min leg (not a lot in it, but the other route comes out at the bottom of the steps rather than the top.
#24, a few seconds going under the less optimum bridge.
#28, no time lost; crossed very dubiously mapped uncrossable hedge - it was on a hill and contours were printed over the top,making it look like hedge had gaps. Pretty much everyone apart from Jack crossed this and so gained 30s on him, but it didn't affect the results.
#29 bad route choice, 30s lost, should have gone through castle or around to the W,not around to the E. I did think about doing that but for some reason decided that it wasn't possible? Not sure why.
90s loss in total; only enough to lose one place. Good courses, felt long but also like it needed to be to make the best use of the area.
Just Barcelona and Seville left - I think jack has the 200 euro series prize sewn up barring some big mistakes, but second is definitely still a possibility!
