MV Region/SN Club Champs - Blue - Headley Heath
Nice day out in the Surrey Hills, on a good course. Ankle seemed ok so taped it up - was a bit tentative on the slippery slopes and aches a bit afterwards but survived. Knee all good. Not used to the hills and physically died after the climb to c8. Legs gone, and just slow focusing into/out of controls in the second half (9,10,15,16). Thrown a bit by the long legs - out of practice.
Mistakes ~0:45min
(3)(0:30) - RC didn't spot any of the R routes staying higher which were best
(4)(0:15) - Lost contact mid leg on paths but caught a bigger mistake
6th (3rd SN)
Actual distance: 7.7km (5:57 min/km)
