Tim Watkins Blodslitet. Navigationally I was just awful. I think I wasn't concentrating on my own race and too distracted by the runners around me and followed too much. This was shown by the fact I seemed to find every control that wasn't on my gaffle. Bad direction on 2 caused me to fall too far behind. Kept going making mistakes most of the way. The short legs in the woods were decent. After a particularly bad error at 10 I basically gave up running. A decent result was out the window and jogged/walked the rest. A poor excuse but whatever. In terms of running I think could have done similar to Matt. Anyway just under an hour behind Hector. Ok.

YHOA Sprint champs around RAF Linton. Sound run, dodgy route choice on 17 which lost about 15 seconds I think. Finished 6th behind the British squad boys and Oli W by about 30 seconds for the chasing start. 15s ahead of Joe.

Sprint champs chasing start final. Didn't see anyone basically. Ran the butterfly loops with people who were well behind. Basically a clean run. About 30 seconds ahead of Joe and behind Oli again. At least we are consistent. Apparently 3rd YHOA runner behind Kris and Jonny as they're in SHUOC.. but not Oli?
