SO SE Long Champs - Black - Rewell Wood
Another South Downs new area. Some nice bits of forest, a fair bit of path running, some RC legs and steep slopes. Physically felt really good, running strong and didn't feel like I dropped off. Nav was alright, poor start not concentrating and scrappy for first 20mins. Much better on the contouring legs this weekend, if a bit hesitant. Loose CD were wrong after map flip which caused a bit of time loss c18/19.
Mistakes ~3:30min
(1)(1:00) - Weak AP, didn't read enough, overshot
(2)(0:30) - Good RC but no real AP on linear feature
(3)(0:15) - Stuck in green going straight
(5)(1:00) - Poor RC contouring, up to path better. Confusing veg mapping
(18/19)(0:30) - Wrong CDs! Confused at c18 and overshot c19 while working it out
(23)(0:15) - Took wrong path, end of right path was overgrown
Pos: 3/8 (3rd SE)
Winner: J. Leitch 78:02mins (+0:38mins +4%)
