Very surprised at how thick the woods were, and how hard the running was. Made small mistakes on the majority of controls, mainly close to or in the circle. A hard race to jump into after not running in harriman for a while.
Only the last string of controls from 17 onwards felt good. My shape felt great, but I couldnt really put it to use in the technical terrain. Right shoe totally fell apart by the end of the race...

...Since my Integraters were destroyed after the middle I had to run back to the campsite to get my backup pair of shoes. Unfortunately I'd only remembered to do this with 30min to my start, so I had to rush over. On my way I rolled my ankle on a rock. At the time I hoped it was one of those ones that you can just run off, but it was worse than that.
Got back to the start, and decided I'd give myself a chance in the hope that adrenaline or the advil would kick in and I could run normally. But that wasnt really the case. Was hobbling right off the start, and limped my way around the whole course, constantly feeling the ankle with every pronation on a rock. My left leg got quite the workout.
Was frustrating since I felt like I had so much in me and I just couldnt move any faster. Was running so slow that the navigation was easy, although made a mistake at the end by not looking at the map and thinking that everyone had to go around the far end of the fence.
