Long distance at Big Bush. Actually really enjoyed this, though it was quite an adventure... Very rough and slow terrain. Clearly didn't have enough terrain experience of late as I felt a bit slow and not that confident. Also made a few mistakes sadly :( The first at 2 where I was too high up the spur. Then at 5, I took the very muddy track around the hill, but stopped way too soon at something which looked kind of like the end of the track?! was weird. But then it wasn't the end. Still I lost time dithering.
6 was quite tricky as was on the side of a hill and I ran just below it and missed it at first. Then 9 chose the lower route, and the approach to the control was very vague, again somewhere on a steep hill slope. More time lost...
Georgia caught up with me here due to all these mistakes so then we were together for a bit. Was actually nice to have someone else there for confidence. Got a bit ahead at 13 but then too low for 14 so Georgia passed me again.
It was awesome to get out of that forest finally and run fast for the last loop! though the legs didn't have so much energy by then. Got a little ahead of Georgia in that very very painful road sprint (with a hill) to the final control and finish.
Overall, I actually did enjoy it, and didn't worry about the mistakes too much, just tried to keep going. Very motivated to get back into things and try to improve again! Long distance is the best :)
