Day 5 on Llynnoedd Teifi near Abersytwyth on the coast of west Wales. Course was on boggy marshes in the mountains similar to the maps I ran on for the Irish Champs in 2009. I ended up being 15 minutes late for the start but luckily it was a punch start so no time lost. Unfortunately, I didn't settle down and most of my time on no.1 and 2. I was slow getting into the map but the second half was much better - faster and no errors. I rolled my ankle at the 3rd last and hobbled back into the finish losing a couple minutes there too. That's now 3 times in the last week. Twice my ankle was taped.
