Really good race tho map was confusing to start with so many red lines though i was going cross eyed. Rach passed me out of control 2 and then I passed her on the way to 3 and then she passed me on the way to 5 and then spent the rest of the race trying to catch up.

Now I mispunched number 8. Before we started we were told no. 39 and another control had been stolen (I couldn't remember whether it was 42 or 48). So I got to the patch of grass was like im in the right place, checked my control descriptions and saw it was meant to be on the inside of the fence looked at the control number and it was 42 and as 39 had been entirely taken away by the time I got there. So carried on only to find out that I mispunched. Boo.

Think that control description comes down to experience to be perfectly honest this is the first time I have ever used my control description and even using them I managed to mispunch both days :-( .

On another note I would have come like around the 12th mark on my course if I hadn't mispunched...on the womens course not a novice course...well chuffed...

Thought I ran pretty well but I miss punched AGAIN.

Was actually majorly pissed off about this at the time. Slightly less bitter now. No one gave me control descriptions before the run and no one informed me the control description were on the back of the map. I didn't realise you could get them on the back of the map.

So when I got to the control outside the galleries all I had to go on was the circle, if I had known where the control descriptions were I may have been able to find it.

But then I was in the last batch to run as had mispunched so suppose I was pretty lucky to be able to run. And it was wet and miserable.

Decided I dont like running at the end. Did it in both in the chase and the prologue and meant that I doubted the controls were not there cos of all the rumours about stealing.

4x1k reps. Recovery dictated by when the guys doing miles finished+ 1min. which pretty much was my 200m jog back to the start.

Felt suprisingly good was expecting this to be horrendous. In such a good mood that I dont want to do this gay piece of minewater cwk that causing a massive stress. but have to :-(.

I want SPOOK weekend NOW!!!!!!
