55.703km with 1345m climb in 5:07:00. Omm bike day 2. Not too much sleep getting too old for this just could not get comfortable. Midge hell once out of tent. Reversed yesterday's finish got past by someone very quick soon which was depressing but they did have no camping kit. A bit boggy for a couple then a hit a rock and punctured rear, sealant everywhere but did not seal, had to put in a tube. Decided against going over second hill so picking controls along valley pinched the tube and had to put second spare in. Long climb and a final loop above finish pushing on taking advantage of low lateness penalty for 50 more points.

3rd in the end 1st vet but beaten by winning mixed pair.
