Mass start relay training - Pulesjärvi

Banter started, so I was a bit gassed to number 1, and the boys sped off into the distance.
Kept it pretty clean through most controls though, and a few folks reappeared.
Bashed round on the path to 9, and saw Tam/Jack leaving it as I got there, and realised I was pretty close to the front, and got all excited thinking I could catch them.
Didn't pay attention to the compass, made things fit and before I knew it I was over near 11 without even realising, oops.
Jogged over to 10, but then Jenny appeared so I had to start trying again. Finished a long way down though.

But it was (apart from one control) actually quite a positive piece of training. I realised that I could actually push much more than I have been doing, and also that the terrain felt easier while doing so. I guess in my head I thought I couldn't go that well from lack of training and fitness, but actually I'm not *that* bad

Some jogging about before and after the relay, plus went back to see what had gone so wrong to 10 with Josh. Picked up Carcas on the way and jogged through to 11 before destroying him on a sprint finish
