Two big stuff ups, head wasn't really in the game today and was thinking more about running, or inability to - felt like even harder work than previous week but calf wasn't as big a problem until long stretches of hard running.
Small misses in the circle on 1 & 3 (both only about 5s, but still surprised by fastest splits), caught sight of Duncan at 2 and reeled him in before 3. Went slightly cross country through the bush to cut the corner on 4 as the track running was painful, so expected to see him again there but didn't - however I did at the next control having stuffed up 5, somehow missing the track to it and taking another (winding up to the west of it according to GPS). Next big mess was 8 when I ended up on the northern track and had to bush bash through. Surprised with fastest split to 11, given I wasn't strong up the hill on the straight line route.
