Ross Island
Didn't know how to treat this run but with a few competitors on the course it was worth trying at least a small bit. Kept the pace mostly similar I felt, but definitely was struggling near the end. Made a mess of leaving 25, wrong direction, took a fall and then trying to get back up my left quad was cramping.
Not a great route to 27 either and Conrad caught back up and was not able to close the gap to him on the road, he is able to run though, but felt sluggish.
Earlier in the run took a few falls and a few bumps from various branches, so was a physical day in the forest. Definitely made a mess of 6, overshot, and had trouble finding 5 too. 8 I wasn't too confident when I came down, didn't realise i'd come down the big re-entrant as thought I left the path later than that.
Turning off the track to go to 15 I went over on my ankle, slowed me down a small bit at times due to a few winces taking some bumps.
My split between the last control and the finish is also a bit long. Punched the finish, went to download, some sort of error, so told to punch the finish again, and this time it downloaded. Some hardware issue I think.
Think I survived more or less, we'll see tomorrow.
