Was going really well until #9 where I made a ~5mins mistake because didn’t fully follow my plan and then messed around in the circle a lot not knowing where I was. Then panicked a bit and just ran in the rough direction to #10 without having a solid plan and drifted left. Then tried to relocate and got very confused and eventually managed to relocate. Because i’d drifted left I was near to #11 and I relocated to there, instead of 10, total brain-fart moment! Was just relieved to have relocated tbh! Then started the long slog up hill and was like ‘omg I’ve missed 10’ but had wasted enough time already so just walked the rest.
Good first half and then just such a muppet after 9. Need to learn that if I make a mistake I need to stop and calm down, then make sure I have a plan to the next one instead of running off.
