Running warm up/down 23:38 [1]
Got in a very good warm up to the sprint, did some running drills and visualized flipping over the map and finding that first leg. As it turns out the map was shown on the ground at the -1 minute call up after we had our control descriptions so I was able to figure the first control location in advance.

Very tricky and enjoyable sprint set by David and Miriam Rosen at Lancaster University. Had a solid game plan and stuck too it which resulted in a good race. Between the very slippery wet conditions and the complexity of the map and route choices I never felt like I was going as fast as I could have. X-talons would have helped in this regard on the grass but I also need to learn to push more in sprints when I do have the chance. It's not something that comes natural to me. Anyway a clean race and a good result so I'm happy.
