Sprint Series 3 at Olympic Park
Enjoyable course and appreciated the controls being attached to stands. Was tentative early on, losing about a minute through the tricky short legs 3-6. Mistakenly punched 17 on the way to 6. Lost another 30secs on indirect routes to 7 and 19. Otherwise had a good run, 8th place, 3mins behind Aidan.
Starting to get the hang of sprint/line courses but need to get more consistency in my split rankings - ranged from 1st (8 & 10) to 88th (19). Quick decision making on the shorter technical sections needs improvement and more time spent planning ahead during the longer open running sections will help.
