Encouraging start was I got lost on the warm up and failed to find any controls. Mostly because I thought the start was where the boxes where so ran into the forest got very confused for a while then by the time I relocated and found the actual start of it had to go to the start.

JK long.
Continuing the okay performances. I was really looking forward to this race as I knew it would be fast and runnable and suit me nicely. It turned out harder than I actually expected and felt more limited by my navigation than my legs.
I started steady as I thought the slope would be fairly hard but I was clean through the first 7 and feeling really good. On the way to 8 I had a really heavy fall on some tree roots and bashed my knee bad. Hobbled for 5sec then got running again and felt okay if not a bit sore.
Got confused to 9 as I wanted to run along the road yet I remember details saying all roads were banned but it didn't have crosses on it which was annoying. I decided to be safe and not go along it. Didn't want another Peter crossing walls incident.
Lost 20sec missing 14 too low and probably 30sec trying and failing to run across white forest that was utter crap. Then royally missed 16 going to far right then overcompensating and going too far left and looking in the wrong holes. Lost 90sec here!.
Road crossing, gel, water was all good then into the bushes and I lost it a bit. Not spotting the best route and then losing 20sec in the circle. Then some small misses but okay. Felt good so tried to push hard on the 3 easy legs through spectator and then last loop was much easier and just one bad miss getting stuck in crap to 33 and losing 40sec.
Happy enough with the race and physically felt fairly good which is nice after aiming for 5k this season. I think I would struggle if it was a slower area though.

Knee seized up badly after finishing. Adrenalin had evidently worn off. I tried to jog and loosen it but couldn't manage much.
