Rule #1, pick up the right map.
I got to #1 and realised what I did so took the run of shame back into the start area.
It was a tough forest today and I didn't always pick the better RC's.
I didn't have the energy to stay with Ed as he got in front after my dodgy RC to #16 and the rest of the course was a slog.
I was surprised that they were not waiting to start the open start people in empty time gaps as I went off at the same time as another person on my course.

So after speaking to Doc Rollins for about 10 seconds, she diagnosed my quad problem as a complete tear of the Rectus Femoris.
This figures with the symptoms that I can feel and hopefully the other 3 muscles can carry me around and get stronger in time.

Before and after.

Really enjoyed the area and course even if they still put way too many controls in a course. Also, the first 7 controls were the exact ones M45 had.....
Couldn’t really see the detail under the map at #3 and went right to the top.
Should have gone through 9 on the way to 8.
It would have been nice to have a few of the control circles cut as I couldn’t find the thicket on the map that would have helped me into 11.
I blew a minute on 20 as the circle covered the re entrant control everyone else was going to.
I also started to go on the wrong track across the open to 23.
Wasn’t as far down as I thought today and leg held out but my left leg is tired because it is compensating at the moment for the other.

Event: JK 2018 - Day 1 - Sprint
 

Unfortunately the area didn’t lend itself to a technical race unless they had put barriers in. I couldn’t run any faster than my leg would let me but it’s getting better slowly.
It’s still in one piece and I wasn’t that far behind so looking forward to tomorrow.

Turning the legs over.

Banging headache in the afternoon and feeling sick.

Lovely to get out and just got away with shorts.
