Generally a bad run. I thought the W16 course was rather short for Long O but it turned out to be a good thing. I battled to read the vegetation around 3 and when I did find it I miss read the no. so thought it wasn't mine. Relocated to the road and realised my mistake. I wasted about 6mins. From then on I was pretty slow. I was too high for 6. Jess caught me at 6. I took some good routes to 7 and 8 so managed to stay ahead of her. I walked/jogged to the last 2 controls. I suppose I expected a bit much from my lungs but my concentration should have been a lot better. Salome won in 40mins.
