Up half the night with cows and calves, so a bit tired, but then I suppose plenty others were up late as well. Robbie Bryson was behind me at start so that concentrated the mind and despite little warmup, I went off focussed. Also there was the small matter of 2nd place in the league to fight for.
Went well and happy enough overall despite going off map. Minor misses with boulders in vegetation in the woods. Main errors were at 4, one minute. Saw another control, though it was on crag, but was actually boulder. Recovered fairly quickly. And then 16 where I went off map and wasted about 3 minutes looking for thicket in among gorse...
Smoked a couple uphills leaving the others in my wake. :)
Had to get home to tend to cows so couldn't stay for prize giving. Looks like I secured 2nd in league but I haven't got confirmation yet. c.hill who won the league will be reading this soon enough and may confirm.
And M50 this year, there'll be a few 45s happy with this.
