Armagh City North
6th in my heat and didn’t make the A final by right or by the ‘mystery legs’ option. My own fault. Was ok in the school area to begin with, a few hesitations but no mistakes. Then made a mess of 10, like a lot of others. My own fault. Didn’t read control description and also assumed that planners would have put control on the south side for a short leg to 11. So my penance was time lost and extra running.
Was then careful to 12. Longer route again to 14, went left, but my plan was to go right.
So the big time losses cost me. Running speed didn’t feel too bad.
