Another night race, another poor performance.
Really struggled in places with the map.
#1 Headed in early with plan to run to end of open. However, open was continuous all the way to the marshy path. Recognised this but went all the way to verify. Very difficult to understand which ditches were mapped [2m 30]
#4 Bearing took me into circle but hadn't read description and was looking in re-entrant rather than on ride end just above. Returned eventually [4m 30]
#5 Hit foot on hidden stump leaving previous control which took a while to abate. Somehow ended up west of control despite following plantation line from junction. No sign of mapped open but eventually acknowledged that I must be west of control. Main re-entrant was very obvious when I got there [3m 30]
#8 Stuck in crap ascending to path. Then loads of inexplicable extra contour features east of control [1m 20]
#11 Thought I'd selected a great route but ended up swimming in the bog of eternal stench. Literally. Not sure whether extent of marsh had increased or if I had poor direction, but ended up stuck for many minutes. (RG replay is quite comical). Rest of leg was fine [5m]
#15 Added unnecessary climb - path on edge of lake preferable [30]
#16 Stuck in some luscious grot [45]
