JK relay with EUOC. I anchored the team lead off by Spender with Felly between us. Was a bit of a nonce into the first control getting dragged off by Ali T but no worries since he disappeared after I headed off to my gaffle. Was caught by Joe so it was clear I'd lost time, then was with him for a bit. He pulled away on another gaffle mistake but I caught back up. Right after ditching Mr. Wright I saw Spud again ahead of me and worked to catch him but lost complete sight of him after the first spectator visit. From there a solo finish that was rather uneventful.

Now I want to give my blister from yesterday a chance to heal and do some cross-training, probably cycling, to give my ankle a rest while I'm at it (can't possibly hurt to be safe there). Then we get to the latter half of this week and figure stuff out then.

An alright run but I was horrible in the opposite section of the map. Tried to work around the holly too much when I could have just gone straight through, some handy knowledge for the future. A few controls where o was awful in the circle. Then the last long leg happened and everything calmed down and went well from there.

A shambolic pre-race lead to a shambolic race. I'll do some quick review on the nav but the greater benefit would come from focusing on tomorrow and not making the same mistakes again.

A decent JK sprint I think for me. There were some fence corner checks but mostly just left-right choices. No big mistakes in sight, and I can recall maybe three losses of ~5 seconds each. Still not fast, big surprise, just gonna keep on keeping on, it'll come.
