Prologue for JOK chasing sprint.
Clean to one but was pulled low on two when I saw crags, this was wrong and it took me too long to work it out, I just got flustered, lost 2mins. Then on 3 I decided it was the spectator control I'd seen and ran around the hill but it wasn't and had to come across the hill again, lost 1min. 4 was the spectator and made a mess of it coming out high then going up the hill, lost 30secs. After that I got into it and caught up Alice again who had caught me. Passed her again towards the finish, felt really strong towards the end.
8th, disappointing but happy that the second half went well and I didn't put myself totally out of it.

Chase, Holyrood.
Was a bit hesitant to one but got it fine, two and three were good but had a little wobble on 4 and thought Jo was going to catch me but she couldn't find it either. She went further along and I knew that was wrong and headed down the hill and found the control. Hazel caught me here. Fine to 5,6,7 and 8 and got ahead of Hazel. Could see others in the distance and passed Jet (1:30mins) on the way to 9 and caught Alice (2mins), Sarah Dunn (1min), Rachel M (30secs) at 9. 10 ok and led to 11 and out but pushed so hard that I had nothing left to challenge Alices brave leap of the steep downhill to the finish or Hazel. Pretty gutted at the end but happy to catch the up. Time was pretty quick on this one:). Finished 6th overall and 4th in that race.
