Training Log Archive: ColmM

Was slow.. too slow!
Was having an okay run but stupid mistakes such as reading wrong code at 17 and going on searching.. losing 30 SECONDS!
and and more because of stupid things as in following the guy in front rather than reading map properly! :(
Prob lost at least 1min.. most likely more, lost a good bit in running too.. probably tired from the party.. but thats no excuse!

C • do you go to party or to do well? 4

Started well, was neck and neck with british lad at no.5? i think.. stupidly seemed to follow train rather than get control and lost 4mins then on next one..
Stupidly started to lose heart here thinking i'd lost more than 4mins..! so was slower and as it happened the whole train completely fucked up no.8!!! So an israeli guy won, and i was probably about 2mins behind at 8 but slowed up and didn't navigate to well after this.. lesson learnt! :(

Team didn't do to well in the end.. to say the least!

started good like the other two days kind of..
decentish on 3, the long leg..
and having had just a few smallish things i was inside my goal of top 40 after 5 controls.. but fucked up 6 proper style! In fairness i think it was trickyish with no obvious features to guide you and no attackpoint as well as compass sort of being ruled out by a big re-entrant where going around was better..
Again though with the fucking loss of heart! I will have to stop this! I just ran slower and shitter after this! Way shitter!
