Hmmm. I found the first half of this course pretty dull. I was not running well at the start, getting held back by the vegetation and thorns especially around 4 and 5, and probably being overly cautious with route choice and attack points in the valleys. Got very tired by the end when it got a bit more interesting, and it was a real struggle to push hard through the completely empty forest. Not sure I always took the fastest route choice, but I think I generally took the right ones for me, because I was super slow up the hills and they took a lot out of me. So I tended to run longer and flatter instead.
Overall, probably an improvement from the last long race I ran, but still some way to go. Was at the back of the leading pack and a long long distance back from Ali. There's no doubt that things are improving, but I was still a bit disappointed with this race. I think I thought I was a bit further than that.

I walked more of a warm down up the hill, but this was the jogging part.
