14c shoes: VJ Bold (Blue)
Started off really well in the forest, nailed the first five controls. First time loss at #6, I wasn't expecting the bare rock to be forested so when I hit the wooded area I lost some time before realising. Next few controls went well, bit hesitant out on the fell because it's not exactly my favorite terrain. Lost roughly four minutes on #11, lost map contact going through the fight while trying to avoid the open limestone after a bad fall on it at the start. #12 was fine, but had such a disaster at #13, lost around 9 mins after stopping too far short of the control. Very happy with some parts of the course but others weren't so good.

Wasn't concentrating enough to #1, #2 was an absolute disaster when the slope threw me off, and #4 was another disaster. After that I settled in and actually started enjoying the course but just lost too much time between #2 and #4. Very nice area though.

I never really got into it, the forest was quite scrappy and slow in places which I tried to avoid as much as possible. Too far right at #3, and just made a lot of small mistakes, especially in the circle.

The majority of the course went really well, up to #9 my only time loss has been about a minute at #7 when I ended up in the wrong clearing. Then I somehow got completely turned around after exiting and #9 and ended up beside the two tarns, losing about 6:30. Really loved the terrain and area, but it was a pity to lose so much time at #10.

#1 was fine, sole of my shoe came off about halfway to #2. Continued on for 100m or so but my heel began aching so just jogged to the finish.
