NOY 6 at Gretley. Absolute shocker. Still feeling the effects of my sickness, just can't seem to shake it despite spending lots of time in bed the past week. Struggled right away to adapt to 1:7500, going way too low to #1 and then missing #4 being too low as well. Started to pick up on the way to #5 but then went over on my ankle. Couldn't believe it, its been so long since I've had a bad roll. Went slow for a bit as I ran through it but wasn't nearly as confident on it for the rest of the course. Had some good splits through #7 and #8 which got me back into it and into the lead for a bit. However completely screwed #16, was so stupid. Lost 5 mins on the others here and was slow through the rest of the course. Finished 5 mins down on Steve and Rob V. Ankle really sore now.
