Bristol uni sprint race.
The biggest problem about this race was the event itself. It should've been used for the british sprint champs not a wednesday evening event. Fantastic, possibly the most technical sprint area i've ever run on. Some fiendish controls, and a housing estate that shat on livingston. I was wetting myself with excitment. I think it would be easier to list controls were I was clean than made mistakes... loads of 2 to 20 s mistakes.
1 there was a family group huddled round the control wondering what it was.
3 tried to go in one too early
4 had to wait for cars
6 hesitated on getting the middle level and backtracked
8 bad route choice
16 slightly hesitant, i actually physcially stopped on my wya to work out what was going on, this is one of the toughest legs I've come across. brilliant split level, clearly mapped. As a result i comfortable have the quickest split time :-),
18 searched on wrong bit, even after unfolding map to look at description
19, went to far side - it was on near side, again if had description on hoepfully would've avoided this.
20 took the shitest route out of 19 imaginable.
24 2 small errors leaving and turning right
25 exited wrong way intially.
26, thought tracks in grass people had cheated by crossing an uncrossable wall, but infact it changed to crossable...
Running wise tried to push it a bit, but lost motivation on the streets up the back.
Good work Duncan Nice sprint map - hope the exams go as well
