A new area to run on although I don't think you could call this an Urban Race...
The first 8 controls were fast and furious. I tried to pace myself as Hampstead is a hilly area so I didn't want to fade in the 2nd half. I dropped 10 secs on the first control with a bad RC and then at #3 I got man handled as the marshall didn't want me to run on a path that was inbounds on the map. It turns out that there was a danger area but rather than stand in the middle of the path that was OOB and directing me towards the one he wanted me to take, he stood in the middle of the one he wanted me to run down. Dickhead!!!
I think I took the correct choices at 12, 13 and 15. Completely blew #18. Came out of the control going S and ended up going pretty straight. Should have planned and gone on the path to the N. 1 min gone.
Think I took the wrong RC to #21 and definately to #24. I stayed S and came from the bottom of the map. Should have gone back the way I came but wanted to try another route.
#27 eventually won me the race but it was a close one as Rob was running very well.
Enjoyed the event and didn't get bored by running up the same streets too many times.
Actual distance ran was 11.77km.
