British Night Champs, Muir of Dinnet
M50L, 7th place.
Winner BenS 72mins.
As challenging as promised and expected...and didn’t handle it as well as hoped :(
Missed at all the first three (2mins-1min-2mins), then okay for a bit with extreme care approaching scary #6. Okay macro choice on the long leg (although Roger on M45 went right and was fastest), but missed a path in the middle and had to cut through terrain....then kept changing mind on how to cover last 700m or so and ended up with a messy wiggly slow indecisive solution that probably cost 2-3mins.
All relatively insignificant compared to the disastrous 7+ mins lost at #11, was tiring and mis-identified huge boulder at approx right distance, then persuaded myself I had got confused on distance and was way short...went a long way further and took a long time to come back to the control.
Frustrating run but a proper challenge, enjoyed it despite disappointing performance.
