Gunapin H3 Course
Was going reasonable well through the the first 9 controls, trying to keep up some form of running up the hills, had overtaken Bryan Austin and Peter K.
But out of #9 I got a nose bleed and was distracted and took a poor line and thought I had overshot the control, so went back up the hill only to see Ian F and Peter K coming down past what I thought might be my control, so back down and now in a train. Lost about 3 minutes
Got ahead of Peter but could not get ahead of Ian and then falsely followed him in a wrong last control having not read that there were two creeks and we went up and down the 2nd creek. Ian dropped low down but I picked up the error and managed to get some time back but Ian still did me by 6 seconds!
Nice are as ever and sun was shining
