Not a good race. Good to one but then lost momentum with a bad route through the terrain to 2. 3 I hit well although there was some debate as to its placement. 4 disaster I didn't have enough conviction to pinpoint my location so panicked and ran around for a bit. It seems from quick route that I ran within meters. Next few control were poor as I felt the pressure from the early mistakes. Got it together to get some fastest splits through 9,10,11,12 but it quickly deteriorated as I hit the different forest. was getting back into it near the end but was never really in the race. I ended up 3rd but it was not what I had wanted from the race.
