NM Middle Final - 18th
If you could design a perfect course for me to struggle on this would have been a good suggestion. Lots of short legs and slope orienteering. I am significantly better at these challenges now than I was last year, and the splits seem to show this. I made one real mistake, losing 90 seconds on a relatively simple control close to the end, but I was tired, both physically and mentally, by then so it isn't a massive surprise.
So without the mistake I would be fighting for a top 10 place, and with a bit more orienteering I could be on the edge of a top 6. So lots of good things.
