JK Long. Started out nice and steady and settled in well. Kept it clean with a few minor hesitations through some questionable mapping. First big miss at #6 (1.30) where I'd attacked from the path about 20m out of the control and still managed to miss it. Speaking to people afterwards the map here was very odd with the marsh being non-existent and an awful lot more thickets than shown. Good again through to #10 just getting caught in some crap bits of white forest occasionally. Lost a minute in the circle on #11. Completely my own fault just not reading the map and stopping having crossed 1 ditch instead of 2, really stupid. Good again through to the crossing. Enjoyed #15 especially running straight through #2 and #1 on my way to it. Took on a gel and water and prepared myself for another hour of running. Took it super careful through to #25 making sure I knew where i was in the holy bushes and made it through well. Started to really feel the bonk on the dead running through the spectator but decided I didn't need a second gel for some reason. Small miss on #30 and then couldn't concentrate at all on picking a route for #31, was simply too bonky. Eventually decided on straightish and slightly left which worked out okay. Started to take super safe routes, picking paths as much as possible, for the rest. Just couldn't mentally cope with the challenge of navigating.
Fairly pleased I think. I knew I wouldn't have it in my legs to keep going hard all the way and was pleased with how I coped with the inevitable bonk. Good fun overall.
