Day 2 Chasing Starts,
Started 5 min back on mike, and 1 minute back on nic.
Could see Nic going to the start control already, catching him steadily up till 3, where we found mike, who had been running around for 5 minutes at that control, i feel pretty guilty for 3 didnt too much orienteering more just running behind nic and mike till we found the control and ran away from Nic.
4, 5, 6,7,8 were pretty easy, with mike as a bit of a guide as he pulled away from me. 9 was good until i ran off the straight line and then stuffed around in the circle a bit. 10 was a lot greener than on the map. caught mike again at 11, he made a bugger up there,
12 was a very long leg which i stuffed up horribly, should have gone the straight route, but i went low past the open area, and just kept on choosing wrong, losing 3 minutes to mike here.
up to 16 was fine, just really tiring.17 lost some time due to being tired. eventually finished minute and a bit behind mike, so 2nd over 2 days, but won on the day by about 4 min.
