British Middle Distance Champs, Naphillnot a clean run, nor quick (in fact, very 'steady' pace), but an okay result, helped by a few mispunches and a no-show
#1 hesitant as flag wasn't hung in the feature [10]
#6 given the runnability of the green, probably should've taken a bearing, but instead tried to use paths, very indistinct, wandered too far east and returned to path slowly [50]
#7 put off by bad tempered dog walker, my line drifted 10° right and ended up near path [40]
#9 again, couldn't read thickets, overshot slightly [20]
#16 by the time I checked the EMIT it had stopped flashing, went back to 'punch' again [30]
#17 climbed slightly too soon, saw pit, hesitant [10]
#18 confused by path above #17, but knew I would hit embankment to the left [10]
#19 hesitant [10]
#25 hmmm, climbed to line between the embankments, made sure I maintained or gained a little height after that, found dense holly thicket, then found the path, plumped for going up hill, control was a long way up on a feeble looking bit of holly [90]
#26 chose the path so I could run with confidence, but control too low and common to most courses [20]
Routegadget9th, 9mins behind Bill, target was <5mins. :(
