Finally a relatively decent run :)
Planned to try go out a bit slower and actually read the map a bit more today+ it seemed to work quite well.
#1-#3 okay
#4 slightly left+ overshot it ending up at a similar feature (1min)
#5, 6, 7 okay. Won #5+6
#8 heading into it really nicely, but then got pulled off onto the spur and messed around (1min)
#9+10 okay
#11 bad angle out of 10 and ended up quite far left (40secs)
#12+13 okay
#14 thought I'd find it easily, o had flipped the map and was reading the next leg and ended up going 1 spur right and missing it.. (1min)
#15 okay
#16 bad angle out of 15meant extra distance (15secs)
#17 good. Got a bit lucky- bingo control and just happened to be running straight enough along the line to run into it.
#18 too far right. Struggling to read the veg here (30secs)
#19 stupid mistake.. Went through the green, but wasn't sure I was on the track, so thought I'd come out quite a lot higher up so ran along the left edge of the green thinking I was at the further left green (1:30)
#20 okay
#21 messed around near the control. Feel like it was a bit closer to the open area than it should have been (1min)
#22 bad bearing (10secs)
#23+24 okay
#25 very hesitant near the circle (15secs)
#26, 27, 28 okay
#29 too far right to start (following the veg to the right) (10secs)
So still over 7min of mistake, which isn't great, but I'll take it after the last 2days. Also managed to beat a former world champion (Janne Salmi)- so that's always nice. 5:30 back on Hector Haines, which I'm pretty happy with. Also quite a few split wins, so seems like my pace isn't too far off his.
Also abosolutely destroyed the Irish today, so whitwash is definitely on #3-0
