Day 2 in the mass start, legs felt a bit heavy. Sara better able to judge her effort as more ready for the terrain, and also keep me in check. Me much better at regularly eating and drinking. No orienteering mistakes really, slow and steady, but everytime we got away from the terminators they would appear somewhere in our field of vision. FInally put some proper distance between them on the LONG uphill slog between 2 and 3. Caught up the D21As at 3, and kept them in our sights through 4 and 5. 5-6 a contouring and climbing along the side of a big fell, D21s dropped low to take a straigher line but Sara suggested staying on the contour and going round and we must have taken a good 100m or more out of them. Lovely last few controls, bit of a struggle to find a place to get under the Reindeer fence but finished just under 4 hrs, 3 mins ahead of D21A pair and 6 mins ahead of the Terminators. A wonderful event as always!
