Had a clean run. Route choice to #1 was good but was quite hesitant as I left the main path. Didn't lose much time on it tho. I was moving at a decent pace across the rocky terrain and hit everything well. For #9 I probably should have gone on the path then cut in. Lost a bit of time on that. Really suffered on the 480m finish sprint. Lost about 50secs to Tania on it. The mornings run and the rocky terrain had taken it out of me. Even had to walk a bit! Was very despondent coming into the finish after that. Bad way to end a good run. Finished 2nd. 1min 14 sec behind Tania.
