Mallards Pike Middle Distance
Well, the 'spiked controls' bit above sums this race up
The map sorely needed updating I thought especially the vegetation, north lines and ditches. Plus I don't think i was planning that well today
Mistakes-
1- Didn't have a solid Plan + missed the ditch
2- Slow (10s)
3- No solid plan + bad bearing to path junction (1min)
8- Had this one before as a control and messed it up. Was slow, hesitant and it was a much longer distance than I expected (20s)
9- Slow
10 & 11 (+14)- Vegetation very wrong (10s)
12- Good plan but on my second bearing sighting I messed it up and got to the path in the wrong place so did a parallel error (2min 30s)
13- Bad bearing (40s)
16- Bas bearing + lost of ditches randomly not on the map (1min 20s)
18- Slow
19 and ⦾- Bad bearing (20s)
Overall- 7minutes (BAD) + I was going round at jogging pace because of the ditches and the fact that I ran out of energy last weekend. It was also very hard on the legs with snow, mud, brashings and ditches.
