6th/31 - bit disappointing. Doing really well at number 9 (in 3rd, still 4 minutes down on Clive at that point despite being pretty much perfect) and then one disastrous mistakes and some not-staying-close-enough-to-the-line.
Doug started 2 mins before me and I caught him at number 1, which was great. Then stayed ahead all the way to 9 despite losing track slightly at 3, aiming off to ensure was going to come out in the right place, and going too high on 7.
Then after 9, had some kind of meltdown and miss-pathed, didn't recheck compass... I mean it doesn't even look like a
reasonable mistake:
http://www.bok.routegadget.co.uk/rg2/#108&cour...11 was far straighter up the hill then I hoped for, following a vague ride, so lost a bit of time there too. 12 was very cautious as I've got lost in that area before - probably over cautious for a control on a line feature tbh. Then again up to 13, far straighter up the hill than necessary cost much time then I expected - need to stay closer to the line.
Contoured too far round the hill on 14, but that's exactly the same mistake as Geoff made on the black and is therefore okay.
Could've been up with Pete W, so running pretty well, but still don't understand what Clive is doing so well! #jealous
