Went out today 45minutes down on the course leader after yesterdays disaster. Knew it wasn't very realistic that I would catch anyone on 21E but there were plenty of M45s and M50s starting in and around my time. There was a pretty big group of people milling around the first part of our course but I got away from most of them going down the hill to 6. From here I tried really hard to keep good contact with the map and spike the controls and I pretty much did that. I think my speed suffered from this but I would have much rathered to be slow and steady than fast and get lost in the forest area. I took the long legs really steadily and ticked off all the clearings etc and made sure to be accurate. I lost a little bit of time to no.15, getting out onto the road but other than that a pretty clean run. Really happy with the fact that I didnt make any big mistakes :)
Overall 2nd today and caught 4 W21's too without realising!

Course 3 - Splits

Day Two
((No comment))
Again today I went out before anyone else. Had the worst run ever though.
I lost 10 minutes to no.5, 8 minutes to no.7 and 4 minutes to no.10.
That's 22 minutes stupidly lost and I don't even know how..
Not a good day!

Event: Shamrock O Ringen 2013
 

Shamrock Day 1- W21E
Not a great run. Went out before anyone else had started so only saw about 2 people on the entire course. Made a mistake to number one that cost me over a minute! The annoying thing was that I was really close to it. I was clean enough for the rest of the course but probably a bit too slow/cautios. Happy with 5th though :)

3 - Splits
