H4 at Spice Brook (GPS 6.89k)
Ran after the Boomers. Decided to drop #2 and #5. A little off line to #1 but I could see the detail around the clearing.
Clean and smooth through to #7. Returning to 4/8 I went off to the left at right angles and it never felt right. Picked where I was pretty quickly, but I had added a fair bit of extra distance and climb. Out of 9 and across Spice Brook I did another right angled error. Again, nothing was lining up, but it all looked right. Again, picked where I was reasonably quickly and headed into 10, which I fluffed a bit.
Fine through the rest, although the tail end of my cold meant that I couldn't keep up the good pace I started with.
