Big 5: Day 3 - Langkloof.
Had a focused start. Apart from a bit of a banana to #9 I hit the first 10 controls well. I slowed down a lot going up the hill to #11 and was hesitant in the circle. #12 was my first big mistake of the day. Lost about 90sec. Struggled to read the vegetation and drifted north. Relocated off the road. Messed up #16 badly -about 90 sec. Didn't read the contours properly. Stupid mistake! Pulled myself together after that and had a good flow going for the rest of the course.
Disappointing run. Didn't realize I was soooo unfit! Haven't done enough long runs recently. Steph had another great day getting over 600 world ranking points.
