Northern O Champs (long) - 11th m20.
An unusual but enjoyable performance for me today - looking at the splits overall I was below average in general with only a couple of faster legs rather than a couple of big mistakes. Encouraging moving through the controls with good direction coming out and a good flow, but really not pushing any speed across the rocks to focus on staying clean. Two or three mistakes dropped about 3 minutes with some overshoots and hesitation - still lots to look forward to in the next few.
Main focus now and for this year is going to be my enjoyment. Big year of exams and stress n that so I really want to relax and make the most of the time at these races. Felt like I did that well today.
The OG dobs went in the bin as soon as the race was over :(
