M50L, 20th
Winner, Alistair Landels 27:18
Pinball at #1 (90sec) then somehow just didn't/couldn't see flag at #4, eventually went away to relocate and when I came back there it was! Very strange but 2.5mins gone along with any chance of a worthwhile result. A bit hesitant/shaky in a couple of places on the way home too.
Finished 7th overall, probably a little higher than this week's set of perfomances really deserved. On the other hand I have never finished higher at a 6-Day so I will take it :)

M50L, 8th place
Winner Charlie 65:06
Tired today but persevered pretty well and didn’t really miss anything - however did the long leg route badly and dropped 3mins to Charlie and Alistair. Pleased apart from that.

M50L, 5th place
Winner Simon Martland 59:26
Easier technically today, still some time loss but ran hard and glad to finish with a decent position.
Time loss at #1 (used the overprinted crossing point, the other one was not highlighted but allowed a route 45-60sec faster), lost 30s en route to #10 (a fall had put a big hole in my map, crossed walls and ran in terrain when it turns out the hole removed a big path!), lost 1min at #13 crossing an extra spur once we got to the woodland. Tired afterwards!

M50L, 9th place
Winner Charlie 32:37
Another dodgy performance, fortunate to finish as high as 9th. Overshot #1 (map was 1:7500 today) and dropped 1.5mins, poor line to #5 and #7 meant 30s at each, wrong side of hill at #14 was 45s, then another 30s bracken/uncertainty at #17 just before the end.
Great find of an area, already looking forward to coming back!

M50L, 40th (!!) place
Winner Niklas Ronnbakk 53:42 (adjusted time with river crossing leg removed)
My adjusted time 71:00.
Pretty dire performance, started okay and caught Si Martland a minute after a few controls. But then bad route to #7 and miss in circle cost almost 3mins, and trouble with the boulder in the bracken at #8 cost more. Never got it going again after that, struggling on the climbs and then another bad route on the longer leg homewards cost a chunk more time. Race long consigned to discard day status by then, still surprised to be as low as 40th but a lot of strong times from late starters.
Running warm up/down 29:09 2.17 km (13:27 / km) +28m 12:37 / km
