1: Under ran it. Was looking at some of the significant trees closer to the river. So spent some time faffing around there.
2: Again wasn't spot on, spent some time looking and couldn't really read the vegetation properly.
7: Map seems a little off in this area, shape of the earth wall doesn't seem to be quite like that.
11: Real problems here. First read foot of crag, which ended up being on top of the crag. Should have used the significant trees more here.
17: Map was wrong here, so control was in the wrong place when trying to use the ditch as a waypoint.
18: Should have gone on the road, not sure what possessed me... lost a lot of time as I went too far east and had to relocate. Really silly mistake.

Not my idea of a short course event. Definitely more of a middle distance. Looking forward to the fast stuff.

MEN - Splits

Just making sure that everything was working. Need new shoes!

Should have been a bit faster. Was lost a few times because people would step on the markers and so I would have to look around frantically for the next one. Also had to weave through all the 8km runners toward the end.

Just jogged the last 4km as a warm down.

Went to the physio today. She straightened me a bit and released my glutes. Good to have a check up to make sure that everything is going ok. Feels like I have slight bruising on my feet from the run on saturday. So also had that treated.

Trying to prepare for the time trial next week, so was just getting a feeling of the pace. Went well, apart from the first lap where I had to dodge an old woman walking in the first lane. Hoping to emulate this (and add on a final 3:10 km for either the first or second time trial).
