when i finished i was quite pleased with my run (bar one mistake) but when i looked back after i realised i'd lost small bits of time on a few controls and it all adds up - about 2 mins in total. a lot of my splits are similar to grace's which is positive but i needed to match them all the way round! disappointed to have a lower placing than 2 years ago when i made big mistakes (but just higher than last year at least)
looking forward to relay...
RPE: 9
middle final model area. two harder sections to practice racing in the new kind of terrain. much more varied than the qual area - some thorny green areas, open rocky bits, more hills that are more sensible sized, more rock detail. tough but should be interesting! i hope its reall tricky...
along the road to miskolc tapolca and back. super super humid and harder work than it should have been. can't believe how much i sweated despite wearing a vest. glad its a bit cooler in the hills.
