ACT Middle Championships at Collector. Probably not quite as ghastly a run as I thought it was when I finished, but still pretty ordinary. It was rougher than I'd remembered it - lots of fallen timber and rock, and very few fast bits - and needed someone who was strong and aggressive. I was pretty weak today, feeling in just-about-to-get-sick mode (hopefully it doesn't develop any further). A bit scrappy, but only substantial time loss was at 12, where a route choice around the base of the cliffs fell squarely into the 'seemed like a good idea at the time' category - probably a minute or so dropped there. Wasn't that far out of third, but it would have been a travesty if I'd placed with this run.
