BUCS Relay- Hugset 3rd
It was exciting to have a good relay team yet it seemed Will was ill and Colm had tennis ball ankle but they both did really well and handed over to me in 5th about 10sec behind Tim and Tam and then maybe 2:30 to Matt and 3:30 to Sasha.
Set off on the left path and went past T&T saying codes. Tam had the same so we moved on alone. Nearly overshot 2 as it was downhill and I hadn't got into the 1:5000 scale. Then small miss at 4 before pushing on to 5 and the long to 6 (got an out and back on Matt and thought it was about a minute). Was putting time into Tam and I was out of sight then to 12 saw Matt again on an out and back and thought it was now a lot less but unfortunately I then made a 30 sec miss to 14 and another 15sec to 16 and now Tam had appeared again as he was obviously navigating and running well.
This made it fun though as the last section was short technical controls and I felt pressured to navigate well to stay ahead and I managed this.
Enjoyed the courses and took routes to avoid most of the brambles which worked well.
Happy with 3rd place and nice to get a relay medal with HW.
