JWOC Sprint - 63rd
First JWOC race was feeing hyped. Got a nice early start time so had a pretty short but chilled quarantine. Good warm up and then we were on the start line.
#1 was the funny one they mentioned in the bulletin but it was fine. Struggled to build a buffer in the first section just cos of technical the area was- all the hedges! Moved up into the loop before the long leg which was fine.
The long leg was alright - routechoice was probs suboptimal cos I panicked at one point when a car was blocking my alley so I took a v small detour. Going into #12 was the map turnover which was cheeky from søren but was ok. Sped up towards spec and got a 8th fastest spilt.
After spec was my best part of the course. Made sure to be really careful on #18 and 19 where lots of people lost time and found a good route to #20. Finished well.
Decent result but don’t really care about placings, just more satisfied with a good run with mostly good RC and pretty minimal hesitation. Good fun!
