Bad run on Middle but going on previous years knew it was possible to at least pull up some places with a good run.
1. Spent the longest time ever trying to peel a map from the clump I picked up, was then hesitant running into control, seemed a lot further past the first depression than I was expecting.
2. Good route and strong running but then missed it when I got there, couldn't tell the difference between the vegetation mapped. saw reentrant further along and had to run back. 1.30mins
4+5 Hesitant just coming up to control circle.
15. Hit the next stream and had to come back. 15secs.
17. Too far right and a bit high. 15secs
21. Still felt good and pushed really hard. Cut through greenish forest when I should have gone round path cost me 10/15secs then ran behind control and had to come back round so another 10/15secs.
22. I could just about cope with the previous mistakes but the next was just crazy. Was looking on the wrong ditch, 20-30m from control. Went back to attackpoint then realised. Stupid. 2mins.
