Feeling a bit tired and sore from the training I have been doing, and said to Tash and Emma pre race I think I am going to be extra slow today feeling it abit.
Tash start up the trash talk on how she was going to chick me today and I am just giving lame excuses... So I told her I would whoop her just for the sake of it :P teehee
Start was poor and made errors getting out to first control (10) - Fluffed around making choices
15 - 20 Wrong way from 20-24 as I didn't see 24 and started going for 27 luckily realised on the way and detoured up to 24, 27, 28, 29, 26, 25, 18 And a wild Rob West appeared - oh dear I knew he was one control up on me and only 50 m behind. 23, 22, 21, 19 Rob still here, 14 No more Rob... oh well game over?!, 16, 12,13, 9 Rob reappears 15 m infront of me but heading north?! oh I might have a chance, 1 (overshot and returned), 8, Home.
Woohoo no Orb, No Tash, No Emma... Excellent :P
a few blisters on each foot first time out for a big run in a while, legs are holding better than expected and biggest annoyance on course was losing my hat in the wind!
Oh turns out the The three amigos above all messed up course planning at least two of the revisited controls already punched - guess I got lucky!
