Really, really bad race. Messed up #1, spent 7mins looking for the control, despite getting there very quickly, spent a long time searching for the correct bush. Then messed up #2, headed in completely the wrong direction, whilst reminding myself to focus and not mess up after my mistake...
To the rest of the first half was fine, just very slow because I knew I had already messsed up so badly that there was no coming back. Then second half I was bored and didn't feel tired enough so upped the pace and was able to keep running fast for longer, so finished tired still. Illness still really affecting my ability to breathe and run - was coughing the whole way round.
Think that I was too strict on myself in the warm up and got distracted by other people too much, while trying not to be. Put too much pressure on myself.
