Started fine, through the crags and straight lined to 1.
2 was when it started to go funny, there was lots more hills on the ground than i could see on the map. I went around them but I stil had a ways to go before the control.
3-5: uneventful
6: Ran across the marsh, wobbled my way down a serious crag. Got confused which part of the lake I was at and then was avoiding climb. Easy control in the end.
7: foolishly stayed low for this. Up would have been better
8: bad direction of of control. Realised eventually and corrected, then went fine.
9: started fine. Looked up said I need to head for that hill in the distance. Got to the only hill I could see, only it was not on the map. Saw where I was then went to the control.
10: Ran down the re-entrant, over the spur. Thoughts were then "Oh I'm in a re-entrant with a hill, that has ferns on it! Only one place I can be!" I wasn't there, but everything I did assumed I was. didn't find it. Came back up and saw Conor running around the the non-existant hill I had trouble with on 9. Tried again from my ferny hill, this time flukily saw it. ~4 mins gone
11-13: easy
14: Lots more on the ground than the map again and I couldn't follow my compass apparently.
15-Finish Just trying to make my legs keep moving.
18th, so not a good start to the weekend. Over 10 mins down on Darren, not good. Wasn't too motivated for the rest of the competition at this stage.

It would take a very long time to describe everything that happened in this race, but suffice to say that it was a complete travesty. Everything went wrong (big mistakes, wrong order of controls etc.) On top of that the map was really dodgy and some of the legs were terribly pointless.
The forest looked nice though.

A relatively easy session, but I'm fine with that considering the Shamrock and I was by myself, so I was happy I did one at all.
Started the first one at the wrong pole so it was too long.

Was horrible weather after the weekend, which in reality means it was nice, and legs were feeling pretty good. Pleasant.
They were a lot more serious about me not taking the closed path today and there were detour signs up, so I followed them.

Note
Managed to pull up to 4th in the AP fantasy Giro league (from 7th before the last race!). What did everyone do on the last day? I don't know.

I was on the EUOC team. Alasdair went out first and brought us back in 3rd. Rob then came back in 3rd again, though he was passed by FVO and passed BASOC.
It was still quite tight at when I went out, could see Nixon at the start kite, though that was up a huge hill. Had 40 seconds on Ewan McCarthy but he caught me by 1, which was up a monster climb. Was still pretty close to him going into 4 but I had a very slightly longer gaffle and he just dissappeared and I never saw him again. Ran well myself and was pushing it a bit. Feeling much better than yesterday anyway! Kept it clean, and I wasn't really sure if Ewan was in front or behind me so I ran like he was behind. Was hurting at the end up the hill.
In the end pretty happy, especially after yesterday. Looking at the splits it was the hills and flattish running near the end that I lost most time to Nixon (only person on my gaffle).
