OK race with 1 BIG mistake - 90 seconds and several smaller ones. legs felt very heavy. disappointed with my error on 14. navigated out to 5 along the line instead of 15.
1 ok, 2 no problem, 3 ok, 4 went round not over and caught mike, but then messed about uin the circle. I walked straight past thecontol at the correct boulder. went up to the path, doown to the next boulder then back to the correct one - should have been 15 seconds faster.
5 struggled up the hill, attack point of the path junction then veered slightly right - caught up to Mike again.
messed up 6 - went all the way through the vegetation and had to go back up the hill., 9 i think i had the correct route choice, but i seemed to come onto the last junction very fast and had to relocate. struggled up hill again for 10 and 11. 12 was fast and 13 i overran - lost another 10 seconds and caught mike again. 14 was easy enough but then i mis-read the map and headed fo 5 not across the bridge to 15 - need to read ahead more. Then i dropped down to another unmapped boulder before the slight clearing and lost another 5 seconds.
18 i was caught in traffic so didn't see a path junction - corrected a ran straight onto it, but not the most direct route. no problems there on out,. looking forward to seeing the splits...
