50th
Absolute disaster to number 2. Had looked at the track route but decided that I could confidently navigate to the large depression just before the control. But drifted right, hit another depression and proceeded to run around in circles for several minutes. Eventually managed to get out to the track to relocate (7mins lost). Took it very slowly through 3-5 to try and regain a bit of confidence. Then ran really well on the long leg to 6. Then proceeded to make 2 more mistakes on 7 and 8 when I didn't check my compass again and drifted too far left on both controls.
At this point I'd been caught 2mins by a Japanese girl and was really not having a great time at all. Went through the run-through and heard that Laura Joonas (EST) was not far behind so thought if I could try to stick with her to the finish I might be able to make up a few places. Took the track route to 11 as I'd had enough of getting lost in the forest. Laura caught me to 12, we caught a group of 3 and I actually started running really well from here as we raced against each other. Decided to make it my goal to finish 1st out of the group to salvage something from my terrible run and managed to gap them in the last small loop.
