R Knee - 1 - No pain
Ankle - 1 - No pain
Shins - 1 - No pain
L Knee - 1 - No pain
Day 6 - M21E - 60min winning time
Really tough underfoot - marsh and equally slow heather made pace very slow. Maybe started a bit fast but keen to get a gap to my chaser (3mins behind but I eventually beat him by 20mins). Could have gone much quicker had I been fresh.
----------
Pretty clean run, 2 strange mistakes both caused by reading the overprint wrong?!?
Mistakes ~6 mins
(8) (0:30) Bit too low, distracted by others
(12) (0:30) Route - went straight some unnecessary climb
(16) (1:30) Confused purple 'do not cross' line with course line so didn't read the wall under it. So thought I had found wrong wall.
(24) (3:30) Started heading to c12 over corrected, went off bearing took too long to reloc
Pos: 52/60
Winner: 55min (+33min +60%)
Actual Distance 10.5km

Day 3 - M21E - 90min winning time
Started steady, possibly too steady but felt good up until last forest legs. Tired after this but could have maybe pushed a bit harder overall
----------
Similar to day 1, did well in tricky forest area to start and then well on open area but made mistakes after 90mins on detailed open hilltop and in last bit of forest. Worst mistake of the week - route to 22. Didn't read ahead enough and got distracted by crossing points. Went straight through neck high bracken and over 2 steep ridges. Early start slight disadvantage.
Mistakes ~11 mins
(2) (1:00) Off bearing on steep descent reloc. well could've been lot worse
(8) (0:30) Slightly too high contouring
(12) (0:30) Slightly too high up re-ent. didn't read enough
(17) (3:30) Poor exit & bearing from 16 went to wrong hill
(22) (5:00) Poor route, unecessay climb + fight round was better.
(28) (0:30) Didn't read enough
