Some stupid mistakes, where I ran to a nearby control instead of trusting myself then got confused as to whether I had completed that series of controls.

Really enjoyed this race, the map made more sense at this coarser scale. Saw some of the faster boys out there for a bit.
Longer warm up with Rob, hoping Rachel would show up from her meeting that kept dragging on.

5:00 longer rest, hoping perhaps Rachel would be able to jump in on the second half if she came back from a short warm up (unfortunately not). Also, started rather fast and was not sure I could keep it up.

Fun new map at Londsdale quay. Made some mistakes from 7 to 8, and also go stuck from 5-6 when I tried to cut and found a spiky bush...
Enjoyed myself, and managed ok with the change of pace near the end going back into multilevel stuff :)
Longer warm up run with Mike (just warming up with us) and Rachel, not feeling the best still... slight headache most of the day.

Ended up running with another group of entirely girls. So there were about 8 girls running from 80 to 90 second laps.

Started with the others, but knew I could not keep a decent pace for the whole one, so dropped after one lap.
