WC7 - Mojzisuv Pramen Middle
Started nicely hitting them fine and feeling ok early on. Long leg to 4 executed well and looking at the results doing well early on. Long steady climb combined with crap underfoot got my legs full of lactate going up to 5 and didn't feel the same thereafter. Big mistake at 7 losing 1:40 by missing the control by a few meters in thick green and looking to far up the hill. Lost 30s at 10 where I crossed a path without seeing it and cutting in much later than planned and struggled to find a route up the rocks. Silly mistake at 13 stopping at a much shallower re-entrant before realising and going on to the next one (40s loss). A chain of a few small misses of around 20s at 15-17 but hit the tricky 19 well with a good plan. Simple to the finish including a long open uphill slog.
Enjoyed the race, a little dissapointed with my time loss (which was just over 4mins total) and disspointed I didn't feel a little stronger through the terrain. I guess this is rustiness through little terrain time over the last couple of months.

Really steady with Kris and Sponge. Should have done a bit more really.
