Felt very much like a repeat of Carlisle, not so much in terms of the course and planning approach, more so that I had what I felt was a reasonably fast, solid run only to learn that Jonathan Albon had got over 1.5 minutes out of me. When comparing splits it seemed like I'd won the majority of legs (in fact I only beat him on 6) but most (58 seconds) of the self damage was inflicted on the finish leg, when for some unknown reason I thought the finish might be at the top of a tower - I followed someone but that's no excuse (note to self: pay more attention to the map, plan ahead and be a little more sensible next time).
