IOC Sprint.
My annual Sprint outing and it really showed. Managed to keep ahead of myself for the first third but thereafter very clumsy and not picking the smooth or quick lines. Not that I was quick, three minutes down and there wasn't much I could do about half of that discrepancy.
Also DISQed myself by crossing an olive green area, despite stopping to read try and read the map - it was obscured by the circle, line and an earth-bank symbol. Told them at the finish but they weren't worried. However, as the top three have since been DISQed for crossing the same bank (admittedly for later in the course, on the second map, where it was easier to see (which is when I worked out it was uncrossable).
A much more fun course and area than I was expecting, result and navigation were probably on par to what I am capable of for this sort of carry on. Shame that there were so many uncrossable feature issues as it was a good race otherwise (think the cartography didn't help in many places).
