Note
(injured) (sick)
Just trying to recover after some hard weeks of training and racing. Went over my ankle at the sprint (after going over it in Portugal). Still quite swollen.
Also managed to pick up a bit of a cold. Just hoping to get over it soon.
Metrogaine on thursday!

4: It sucks to be colour blind... I saw it as being rough open instead of light green so headed for an area that seemed to be slightly more open (there is an area of felled trees just east of the controls). Found the exact same feature, one that was actually more significant, there. Was confused and tried to relocate but still couldn't work it out. Used Ake (started 3 minutes behind me) to relocate off of and go into the control. Still not sure that the control was in the right place and I do think that the mapping is off here. ~4:11 lost here. Accompanied by lots of swearing and a hit to my confidence because it happened so early in the race.
6: Should have gone straight across the dam wall. Ake went that way and basically beat me to 6, even though I had punched 5 just before him. (~10 seconds)
8: Not a bad route but failed with execution toward the end. Ended up too far east toward the vegetation boundary and so had to carry on running from there. ~30 seconds.
10: Too hesitant into this control. Should have just bombed down the hill but I was afraid that I would miss it. In the end it was pretty straight forward. ~20 seconds
13: Could have done with a few slope lines here. Initially thought that it was a hill. Bit of faffing here and there. ~5 seconds
14: Too far to the east so had to run down the slope to the control. ~10 seconds
15: Control is misplaced here. Tried to race another guy around the top (he was going around the bottom) and he managed to punch before me even though it should be 50/50. (~10 seconds)
17: Not sure about the map in this area. Earth wall was not very obvious. It also seemed to be closer to the scattered trees than it should have been. ~50 seconds
18: Just slow...
23-25: At this point I was a bit tired and annoyed. Was slow across the reentrants and didn't push very hard. Had been hoping for a water point to have a goo, but there weren't any so made the call to just suck it up and concentrate to the end.
Again not an outstanding race. Battling against myself more than anything (though Tim did have a very good race). The early hit to 4 didn't help me much. Would have had far more confidence for the rest of the course if I had hit it.
Ankle is quite solidly swollen. Went over it again on the sprint yesterday. I strapped it really tightly for the middle so that it wouldn't go over again. Was forced to do that again but there was definitely quite a bit of pain on each stride. Need a bit of a recovery before my sprint prep for the rest of the season. Hopefully I will have a few good races so that I can build up my confidence again. Haven't had a really good race since Middledam.
