shoes: VJ Integrator
Was a strange race had a pretty much perfect first loop but was absolutely knackered at the exchange but then managed to stretch my legs out on a path and was feeling much better. Then into the green were i lost about a minute as i just couldnt read the map. I had been concentrating on this too much and didnt see the long leg luckily it was nice and easy and so just tried to push it a bit was chasing some of the earlier elites who were together so gave me something to run for. Then messed up one after the spectator a bit it just seemed to easy to be my control. lost 30sec on the loop. Then had about a 90 min wait before others came in. Was so happy with how i did i know i only beat matt and peter by seconds but still only being just behind ralph and hector really made me feel good. Was the longest i had been running before in a race aswell. It turned out quite nicely unsure about jwoc now aswell.(oh and had to turn a load of controls on again grr)
