Metro Series race at South Balljura. With 20 controls to get, there was bound to be a penalty for dropping any early ones. Ran hard to stay ahead of the bunch at 1, then stupidly followed the leaders around to the right towards 3. Should have gone left to 2, then 3. However, breathing started to be a problem so I decided to leave 3 out, and walked to 2 and 5. After 5 and 8 the train passed me, but I was able to start jogging. Next mistake was leaving out the first 'in and out' at 12. The result of dropping 3 and 12 meant I had to do three longer in-and-outs at 17, 20 and 22. Dropped a few places today, but still managed to stay ahead of the 70+ brigade.
