BUCS Individual, 20th (+14:30).
Fairly clean navigationally - a 1.5-2min overshoot on 9, 30s overshoot on 10 and a few circle wobbles about OK for me, although 9 was very frustrating. A bad RC to 7 also cost me a minute.
However legs just weren't quite with it today for the top 15 (top 10 push target) I was after. This was shown by tardy splits on more runnable legs, and that despite catching Rich Barrett 2mins shortly after 2, it took until 6-7 for me to drop him. Moving OK on the moor - it took a circle mistake for Matt to get ahead - and it was fun driving the train and, whilst strong there wasn't much terrain nouse and tiredness hit as we re-entered the forest.
Still, about time I got in the top 20. I'm pretty sure my best BUCS result previously was 25thish in 2009 (i.e. after 1 year of orienteering.)
