After stuffing up #1 by over 3 minutes (no real plan, throwing myself into the gully, and being passed by Mat), managed to get things together and ran a pretty satisfying race, got into the terrain and was generally navigating well until towards the end when I got a bit sloppy. Compass still wasn't great, but was able to use contours and rock much more and was clean when I did.
Almost a quarter of the way into the race I had managed to nip into #4 before Mat and was running down hill towards #5 reading the map and went straight into one of the many ruined barbed wire fences we'd been warned about. And I did it in style - not much trousers left:
End result - many lacerations:
Mat passed me again after that, and I didn't see him again until we were heading in opposite directions when I was heading to #15 which was a bit of a surprise. Put the foot down on the track run to #16 to ensure I stayed clear (fastest split) and caught Peter heading into the control, we were together until #18 where I pulled away to the finish.
Anyway, self-harm aside it was a really enjoyable course and I coped with the terrain far better than yesterday, although I was starting to cramp on the final couple of track legs into the finish.
Finished 3rd, 10 minutes down on Mark and 4 on James, with over 5 minutes of mistakes. Good day out.
