Flying Pig, first day (middle distance), M45.
Same map as used for the 3rd day of the Team Trials last year. Hillsides are still steep and muddy, though a good bit of the course was on more gentle terrain.
3 mistakes, all easily avoidable, not sure what I was doing, total maybe 2-3 minutes. Ran ok, didn't really push it. Problems seemed to start when I got near the home for abandoned pigs, don't know why. Need to get my head straight for tomorrow, get rid of the "I don't like this terrain" thoughts.
Met Max for the first time. Didn't seem to scare him, like I often do with little kids. And he kept coming back for more of my Cliff Bar.
I'll post routes when I get back.
