Leg descriptions in the comments on the splits.
Kinda proud of this run, I mean I placed really well (probably because most of the fast people are on the Billygoat or ran Blue or Green), but really proud of my navigation. It felt a bit technical, but in a good, fun way. I probably should have run more, but tbh I'm tired from this week and especially from all the climbing.
Just wish the map didn't have so many unnecessary formlines, kinda annoying, but at least you think the hills are bigger than they are so it's a pleasant surprise when you don't have to climb as mucha s your feared.
It's also interesting seeing how Martins and I had practically identical route choices for the shorter-medium legs, but on the long ones we were different- and he is clearly a lot faster than me because he gained a lot of time on me on legs I didn't even lose time on, but still made at least 2 mistakes that were both bigger than mine. Definitely shows that I've got the navigation down pretty well, I just need to gain speed and endurance.
