CSC Qualifier at Cannop Ponds. 9.2km Brown.
Generally good run here as should be expected given how many times I've planned now, and enjoyed it. Lots of small misses though. Lots less semi-open, undergrowth and marsh than I'd remembered...
4 - slightly off line, 20s
5 - slightly off line and distracted by the extra river, 20s
7 - slightly off line, led in to it by Mark P leaving, 20s
9 - slightly off line, too high then saw feature, 20s
15 - slightly off line but stopped at extra stream crossing to map (not sure it should be gully - extension appears to be to a different convention vs the rest of the map). Surprised it was so far W as line didn't seem that bad! 20s
16 - pulled too far E towards a lovely knoll can't find on map. 20s
17 - definitely needs UG screen here
19 - looking too low on the slope - not sure the form line adds anything but implied depression wasn't at the top when it was. 50s
22 - path route was best for me
24 - knew I went in early but control was still further north than I thought. 20s
25 - should have gone out to path and back in as caught got up in trees towards end of straight. 10s.
No biggies (other than 19) - but adds up to 3 mins or so of losses over course.
Caught and steered an NGOC train from 13, calling them into controls. From 15 onwards suggested they try to hang on to me or Richard for a toe - think it worked.
Foot got attacked by brash on 16-17 and hurt a lot for a couple of minutes. Looking a bit bruised now.
Nice to finally have a decentish run in a CSC round whilst being competitive. Might even have counted for the team score...
