I had a really good run at this event last year. I knew I didn't have the form to do as well this year, but it was still a reasonable run, with my lack of pace maybe only costing me a couple of mins and had a fairly clean run.

Only checked the control description to #11 about half way there. Realised I'd have to go round the uncrossable fence, but I don't think it cost me any time.

I was planning too far ahead while running to #12 and ended up on the wrong path going through the buildings. Realised it and corrected, but it cost me 20s.

Would have been quicker to run through the buildings to #15, but I was simplifying. Probably not necessary. Another 20s.

Was lucky that most of the last few controls were quick-fire as I was feeling my lack of fitness. Last leg to the finish had me on my knees at the end!

Rode there and back and still felt like I was ok running, so that's good.

Had a good first half. Clearing one section in about 30 mins.

Was nervous about how strong I was going to be and didn't push hard enough. I should have gone round the outside on the NW or to the north of the lakes, but instead stayed south of them. Ended up retracing my steps and not picking up enough in the second half.

But I was finding the controls well and running ok, so I'm happy enough.
