JK Day 3 (Llangynidr)- 2nd on day and JK champion! Felt nervous to the first few controls missing 30 sec 1 and 2. Took care after this and solid until #8 and #9 loosing 3 minutes on bingo pits. Pushed hard after this for next 4. Lost concentration on final long leg #14. Knew I was right distance using a back bearing to the forest and road and then gambled on direction being much too high up the hill to find the control much relieved, having lost only 2 minutes. This could have been so much worse. Pushed hard to the end knowing had spare on Andy who had done 74 miles, but wanting to make sure.
5 minutes of mistakes but enough to get a 5 minute victory overall, very pleased. 30 years to get a JK title.
