XC and trails are definitely the best and it sounds like you paced it well :)
Yeah, cheers. The clubmates I was with on lap 1 finished upto 90 places / 3 mins back so I made up alot of ground over laps 2 & 3. Also chuffed to be an 'A' counter which is rare.
You ran past the big red bin twice then chanced your luck with a very tight line. Sorry it hurt but short of putting a dayglo vest on it, I cant think how better to tape the corner. Sure it could be post n taped into a gradual bend instead of a corner, but where is the fun in that when it turns into a track.
Yeah, appreciate I was the only twat what ran into it, in my defence at 180bpm vision is mostly tunnel, and blurry as I don't race xc in my glasses incase they get smashed up.
In all my recent occupational stuff we'd not route a go-ride racing course using fixed furniture as it's encouraging that risk of collision and parents would grumble. Maybe I should ask my Mum to grumble.
It wouldn't have took much effort to extend the tape line a couple of ft past and make it an even tighter turn - different racing line but less of a collision hazard, plus any collision = wonky plastic stake at most.
