Came up to this as my sort of terrain - fast and not technical, and planned to tag on some mapping tomorrow. Sadly mum has quarantined herself with some hospital bug so can't stay up - so the survey will have to wait for another time I'm up.
At least got a decent run in for the long round trip. Planner assured everyone that fast runners should clear it really easily. I was 44s late... (but may have been the only person to visit all 22 of the 21 controls)
Struggling for pace, have to fight against the wind and slow up the hills. Waking up all the controls early on, and as at the front having the job of finding the flags when hidden but passed by rickyp as got into 7. He took the path and I went up the road and seemed to match pace. Both went to the wrong tree.
Here onwards was helped by rickyp's faffing in looking for the controls where hidden, or the paths where hidden by roadworks. Lost time on 14 as went to 15 first (the line 13-14 went through it).
Downhill was nice and managed to keep speed up after 20 when clear timing was tight. Not taking it totally seriously so was getting 21 regardless of time. Quite fun to be running head-to-head, even if there was a lot of not-trying in terms of navigation. Think I just got 2nd as Rhys (started 2 mins behind) went to long way to 20 and must have lost more time than me.
