Race didn’t get off to a good start when I lost at least 3 mins to #1, through a combo of not reading the scale, not pausing to actually work out where I was going, not committing to a route, and not finding the control. Then I went back cos I was scared it didn’t register. Oof- got caught by joe here
We stuck together till #10 in the green- got round that reasonably unscathed then chose a good routechoice for the long leg but just wasn’t shifting at all. Starting talking to a deer. Yep. Saw James at #16 and headed to the water stop to singlehandedly accelerate climate change with my plastic cup use. Was pretty solid to the end with James just not feeling very zingy at all and only just holding off an almighty bonk.
All in all an ok run that kept me on the podium at least- just need to chill out at the start :)
Turns out I came third - fantastisch
