I would have been stoked with this run a month ago. Hard to keep perspective when the leaderboard is heckling you.
Clean through to 12 where I went to the right rock, but didn't look far enough around it, then ran off and had a look at every other rock in the circle before returning. Don;t know what happened on the way to 14. Must have mis-identified a feature mid-leg, as when I got close I turned right instead of left and confidently ran to the wrong spot. Faffed around for a bit with the map not making sense till I sorted myself out and went and got the control. Really disappointing way to finish, as 15-17 were pretty much all out in open paddock, so stuffed of the last 3 controls that I really had to focus for.
Would have been in the bunch in the lower half of the top ten if not for those errors... (I think - will confirm after checking splits)
Now about 3 minutes out of top 10. Tomorrow is going to be hard.
