Just slow and scrappy really. Lost 1min at #8 poor exit direction then compass was off as well and I ended up way too low. More scrappiness in the rest of the course especially on #9 which was pretty much impossible to hit bang on. Then managed to ran past the last control and had to go back which was proper annoying as I was only 3s behind third.

Thought this would be some lovely scandi style forest ended up just being mostly running in a wcoc style big field. Completely mucked up #1 and #2 losing 6mins and Joe caught me here. Kept up with him until the long leg until he started to pull away on the track and I tried to catch up by taking a better rc. Ended up getting stuck in some green and losing 2mins. Slowly died on the rest of the course and when I got back realised I never even punched 13, would’ve been 7th.

Made a few rc errors and was scrappy in the last wooded section but mostly just losing time on running speed. Still a lot better than my other runs only a few seconds behind emus and Sunley.

Knew that I couldn’t afford another bad run if I wanted an alright result overall so played this one really safe. Went slow and got the nav right just a few hesitations and routechoice errors where I lost a bit of time. Still a poor result though so I definitely should’ve run harder. Also having an early start is such a disadvantage as these areas track up so much and whoever wins seems to be dictated by start times.

4min mistake at 4, allowed Joe to bridge the gap. Kept up with him to 8 but he was moving quicker than me so tried to take the faster lines. Ended up messing up 8 and the gap just grew from there. Lost another min at 14 to round off another disappointing run.

Started off well by picking up the wrong map twice and binning at least a minute. Fine through the first five, then just couldn’t find the ride to 6. Hit the control fine was just faffing in the green for too long losing 90s. Fine again through the next section, not perfect but no major losses, just trying to pick up tracks to the controls. Coming out of 12 bearing looked fine to 13 but was slightly left. Thought I was too far right though and ended up way off left at the fence. Finally found 5mins later and rushed off losing another 2mins at 14. Just tried to follow the rides into 15 not wanting to mess up again but just forget about my compass and ended up way off left again losing another 3mins. No mistakes after this just no motivation to push it. Ended up in 8th or something 17mins down on Jim 14mins on Joe but only 7mins on Sunley. 3rd was definitely possible if I’d a kept it clean.
