The splits say it all. Pretty good until the second last control on which I somehow lost just over 4 minutes and the lead. Saw veg boundary on way to control which I thought was the one on the map, it wasn't. Then having wasted 2 mins relocated of what i thought was the pond only later to find out it was a water filled depression and lost another 2 mins. Not happy.
1-8 good
9 Saw control just north of mine and ran to it. 10secs
10. Too left, could see I was too close to houses. 30secs
11. Good route but a little hesistant in the control circle
12. Wrong route out of 11, hesitant running round from corner of path then was too far up reentrant and found another control. 30secs
13. Got into control circle but couldn;t read the detail even when I stopped dead. 15secs
14. good
15. hesitated when hit the path but but found good route in
16. good
17. Stopped too early then ran round bush wrong way to drop into it. 10secs
18. Good
19. took track route which seemed long way off line but straight looked to complicated.
20. good
21. good
22. good
23. not the best route out of 22 then hit second track further up than expected but started running up it before I realised where I was. 15secs
24. took the wrong path at the junction but corrected myself quite quickly. 10secs
25. though I found the path but turned out it was too early. 15secs
26. decided on a good route but poor execution, tried to follow paths on first bit instead of compass then after the first track ended up drifteding too far right. Legs wer also feeling the mileage. 30secs
27. enough said. 4mins
28. good
total. 6.35
Hamstring was noticeable in the first half but good in second, opposite way round to normal. Didn't affect running.
