TVOC day event, Penn Hill.
Not yet fully gotten rid of my jet lag so I was getting there quite early for myself, elected to get out and run early as well. So didn't see that many people in the woods.
Jegor started 1 m ahead, saw him as there were a few doglegs to begin with going 1-2 as I was going to 1, then 3-4 as I was going to 3, of course not again until download :)
I was starting probably too cautiously, saw someone from RAFO starting a minute behind catching me up to #5 - I was probably choosing too safe a route to #4 and then messing up route choice to #5, so he was then following me through the next few controls where I did not make any more mistakes. As I was getting nearer to the timed out road crossing I made a conscious decision to speed up, and setting myself a goal to get rid of him after the crossing or at least let him ahead at the crossing without losing time, so he wasn't getting a toe. He wasn't interested in setting off first from the control after the crossing, so I decided to try and push ahead from him on the long leg, and I managed to get to the woods far ahead so he didn't see me - never saw him again. Mini mission accomplished! Unfortunately from here I started to feel physically that I wasn't on top form (holiday and all + last 4 days running), so probably started to slow down (from Splitbrowser, this is where I was the highest position in the field). Slow in the undergrowth relative to people ahead, and then I made a directional error vegetation pushing me coming out of 15 to the path N. Quick to relocate, but still quite a bit of time lost here relative to the leg length (about 30s). Lost time on 17 which is surprising as I wasn't really making a mistake but likely made a route choice error to go through stuff - probably others were faster curving around vegetation. ALso lost about 1 min to No. 18 - not entirely sure what happened there, I was both step counting and looking for the green patches - for some reason I must have gone one patch further as I had to run backwards once in the med green to get to the control. Annoying.
No more mistakes from here on, but was really feeling my legs so was simply too slow.
