10min mark – no water left! 30degC morning.. suffering thanks to Freedom Machine sandbagger who strung field out.

Field rests for a bit mid-race. Not enough for me though.

The crazy start from the sandbagger meant I was just hanging on and had nothing left for sprint. Mid-field finish.

Having no water didn’t help. I might remember to fill up before the next race!
