I actually quite like this area, and did enjoy the day-
But, this was an awful run.. especially considering it was meant to be a 6.2km course and I did nearly 10km. -.-
Messed up number 2 pretty badly, think I just got distracted and wasn't concentrating properly (there were about 4 people in the 7 minutes after me) and ended up looping back to it. Me and Laura both made the mistake of trying to cut a corner, not realising it wasn't taking us to the right path:/ I corrected quicker but she could run faster over the terrain so still got there first anyway:( They decided to put the two long legs one after the other which was a bit annoying really, although the second was fine. Made a couple of other stupid mistake where I should have just taken a bearing and would have known exactly where I was.. Got into the last loop (WHY) saw Louise, Chloe and Fiona come past me.. :'( Messed both 11 and 12 up just looking at the wrong rhododendron and finding it hard to relocate. By the end the ground was pretty soggy and quite tough to keep running on.
So yeah, this was terrible.. Really need to get some more training done...
