Northern Champs at Wass.
Felt OK at the start of this race, but by the end I was really having a struggle. Again I didn't hit it really hard but just tried to put a bit of pressure on myself. Was a bit disappointed in myself for being really messy on several controls, I was having trouble setting good attack points and hesitating a lot into the circle. Good practice for orienteering tired I guess (or just practicing bad habits?). Was just off on 1 and 2, really slow and hesitating into 3, was too low and lost a minute on 6, dumb route choice on 11, and completely wrong bearing on 21.
Can't say I enjoyed the map or course. It was very steep and covered in brambles, and we had one leg which climbed 15 contours - only to turn around and drop them all again on the next. Being tired I fell over a lot and am now covered in scratches. But I am Northern Champion - yay.
