JK 2014 Sprint
Singleton Park
Had sussed out the route to Control 1 from hanging around the start so went off fast but got to the right level only to confuse myself looking at the control site, some sort of fountain. But maybe the seconds I lost I gained on the run to the start.
Was going to go left to 2 but decided on right, worked out fine. Tried to keep the pace high. Around to the right of the trees for 4. Probably lost some time on 5 and 6, very little, just due to direction issues. Spectator was easy and then around the buildings, very straightforward.
Out of the buildings and there was a tough hill to 15, ouch. Pushed. Then went right for 16, didn't want to lose the height i'd gained. On the way to 16 I spotted Nick Barrable heading to 17, my 1 minute man, so reckoned I'd gained on him, so that was a boost. Put the effort in then going to 18, longish leg but downhill. And then back into the green area for a few more controls. Slightly hesitant finding the way into 19. Went left inside the unversity again to 21. Reckon right would have saved me a few seconds to 22, but I went left! 22 wasn't exactly where I expected it to be, the map was right not me.
Then open the legs to the finish.
The Shorts had put me under pressure on the way to the start saying I had to beat C.Hill, don't they realise how many WOCs that chap has run!
When I finished they were talking about Nick Barrable and his time so i'd no idea how my run rated. Downloaded and my splits said 1st of the finishers at that stage, nice to see that.
Ended up 6th, didn't see that happening, but a nice confidence boost.
