shocking run. i didn't put myself under any pressure or anything for the race but still managed to mess up. it was my first run on a 1:15,000 map which threw me a bit, and the terrain was so different to the warm up and model areas - all brashings and green forest.
#1: bit of a wobble as the control was very well hidden.
#2: big mess up. took me 9:33 when the fastest time was 3:15. basically messing round in the green, and got caught up by my 2 and 4 minute runners. i even heard the control beep but couldn't pinpoint it! so annoying!
that set the tone for the rest of the race tbh, slow through the terrain and in navigation.
bottom half by quite a long way. not fun.
