Bad day tecnologically as my hired emit failed and I forgot to start my watch. Thankfully all controls present on my backup card.

1 - 4 : Rushed at the start, so no time to settle down. Couldn't read map whilst riding on the first 4 controls. Had to do some map memory.
5 - Left route choice on the larger track feels like it worked.
6 - Back out along same large track and attacked 6 from the back via the feed lot.
7 - Went left here again, but struggled to get onto the trail. Think I was on a parallel cattle track, but I now think right RC would have been faster by 30s+.
8 - Fun riding, had to pass lots of people.
10 - Went right and came in from behind into 10.
11 - Took right route choice to 11, should be the better choice with bigger path.
13 - Went right around on the bigger track. However, Pier's split of just over 4 mins means there might not have been much difference going straighter on the single track.
15 - Took the smaller, straighter path into the control, but should probably have gone left route.
19 - Took left, more obvious route.

Great fun. Beautiful area for MTB and orienteering both. Had a nice time, could maybe have been up to 4 min faster by being more settled in the early stages. Always hard to get into a new map on MTBO, more so then on foot.
