Croeso Day Three, Margam Forest North
probably should have retired after a 5mins miss at #2 and bang on the knee at #3, slipping all over the place over the next couple of controls, tough terrain, only started to enjoy it (?) after the road crossing, and more so once I caught Dai Bedwell and my minute man at the start of the long leg, a waste of energy really

C • Glad I missed this one 3

Croeso Day 2, Kenfig Middle
pretty tidy run but it wasn't as challenging as it should have been, faded after the 20min mark, although I finished strong (as is customary)

8th (M45), 6mins behind Bill, but 49s ahead of Frostbite (yey!)

Event: CROESO 2016
 

Croeso 1, Kenfig
resorted to the magnifier rather than glasses because of the rain but still couldn't pull enough information off the map, took some time getting to grips with terrain/map, the vegetation in particular, also persistently overestimated how far I had travelled, expecting the control site to appear sooner, odd; physically I was in good form, although I started to feel sick around the turn

#1 hesitant, then overshot [50]
#4 dithered over which paths to follow [20]
#7 started looking far too early [150]
#8 hesitant, thinking it would be closer [20]
#9 didn't need to climb the ridge [20]
#11 attacked to earlier, underestimated the size of the hill beyond [30]
#15 didn't climb directly enough [20]

10th (M45), 9mins behind Bill, same behind Clive on M50

Kenfig Long

Oker Loop (Short)
didn't fancy it, but needed one more run out before Croeso, didn't feel great, warm and humid (24°)
