Imperial College night sprint.
Course 2 (Men 35+ and Women Elite)
14th of 79, five (!) mins behind Alice Leake....
Fun race in the multi-level stuff, with loops in park at beginning and end. Glad I didn't believe the chat that "you might want a torch to read the map", I had a small torch and was wishing for a better one at times.
A couple of mistakes of a minute or more, totally misunderstood the map to #6 for quite a while, didn't understand there was an underpass in the west so didn't use it to #8 and then got confused and went to #9 first anyway! Similarly didn't understand there was a western underpass on the long leg to 10 which cost time as well.
Fun but not to be taken too seriously :)
