Too many mistakes today.
Was doing ok up to 5, but then lost 2min to 6 trying to sidehill across, which was quite sketchy, and then bobbling the control. Lost a minute on number 14 as well in my second butterfly. I'm ok with my race up until the end of the butterfly, but then things fell apart.
Lost some time on 17 and then got caught in some green trying to find the crossing point. Picked the long road route to 18, but as I got onto the first trail I felt a thorn on my big toe. Still ran pretty strong up the road, but I couldn't really push off properly and was trying to run on the side of my foot to avoid the thorn. Contemplated stopping to take my shoe and sock off but felt like I was too close to the end. Ended up losing a minute heading into 18 as well.
On the way to 20 I took the route to the right by some houses. As I ran by one of the fences, there was a boy on the other side of the fence telling me that I was entering private property. Got all flustered and stopped to see what was going on. Saw that I was ok by the map and tried to tell him "Yo bueno" or something (really wish I could remember my high school Spanish). Between being distracted by the toe and the boy I lost even more time going into the control (nearly 5min in total).
Then to finish things off I ran through a sketchy gas station right off the highway on the way to 21. Weird...
