urban/sprint 17:11 [5] 3.0 km (5:44 / km)
JK sprint, Aldershot.
Hot hot hot. I had intended to wear glasses for this but after some messing about I completely forgot about them when I set off to the start. I don't think it really affected my run at all.
What did affect my run was that I picked up descriptions for course 3 instead of course 6. I can't explain this, just stupidity. I checked my course on my bib before I started and picked up the right map, but when I picked up the descriptions I was convinced I was doing course 3.
So on the way to number 1 the description didn't seem to tally with the map, but it still didn't dawn on me. I found a control in the middle of the circle with the wrong code and must have dithered for about 10 seconds before the penny dropped, quick check of the code on the map, then I did the rest of the course without descriptions mostly and hoped for the best.
Actual mistakes - careless coming out of #1 I stayed too close to the building and ended up having to jink in and out of the loading bay. #5 I set off towards the control before working out I would have to go right round the north end of the building. South was quicker. #11 I ran past #8 before realising there was an uncrossable fence and had to run right back to the other side of the building.
#14 and #15 were ok, I maybe wasn't the quickest but I at least went around the right end of the building.
34th place? I think
