Came 4th but quite annoyed because i messed up on the long leg and the one right after it and it cost me a podium. The first 5 legs went pretty good and i was trying to go steady and nail every control. at number 5 i was 2nd, 1 minute and a half ahead of the others. Matthew was ahead by a long way the whole way. on number 6 i took a safe route choice but when i was coming off the path i rushed it and had to relocate. I was still in second when i got to the control though. For number 7 i crossed the open and went along the ride, but came off it too soon and when i went into the re-entrant i was too low. my garmin says i run just past the control but i couldn't see it because the bracken was high. I relocated onto the hill and looked down and saw it but id lost a lot of time and slipped down to 4th. 8 and 9 were fine then i ran the wrong way up the run in to the finish and felt rally stupid.

went on another easy run it was annoying because my heart rate went up in some places because loads of deer were jumping out the forest

went for an easy jog along the road had been told not to go over 140 bpm but haven't really gone that slow for ages so it was quite hard to stay under. it was quite nice and the sea was really flat so went for a quick swim after
