BMC - Summer House Knott.
Been looking forward to this for some time.
Probably didn't go to the start kite (easier to go diagonally uphill) which meant angle to #1 was off. Fallen trees also pushed me too low & missed. Relocated from marsh & spur shape to only lose 1 min.
Hared off down hill to #2 which spiked. Saw Richard Oxlade (2min man) only 30secs behind as I exited control so pushed on across longer leg to #3 which spiked. Nearly dropped onto wrong spur to #4, but realised wild garlic on stream bed & corrected. Deliberately low across to #5 & then climbed ok.
Thought route to #6 looked ok so started planning long leg #7 to #8. However in coming back to leg #6 had drifted off line - cue parallell error & binning 5 ot 6 mins by the time I had relocated & found control.
Ok to #7 but Richard caught me on the way to #8 which we punched together.
I missed #9 & lost another minute & he was away.
Hesitant at #11 lost another 30secs or so.
Once through the gate then clean on loop from #12 to finish.
Ended up 19th which shows how everyone else was also very poor.
3.6km = 2.236 miles. GPS says I ran 2.87 miles.
