O race 52:00 [4] 5.0 km (10:24 / km) +145m 9:05 / km
(sick) shoes: Icebugs
Middle distance. Further moaning about cold.
1. Confused by kite being hung in the wrong place (On hill rather than in depression). 10s
6. Hesitation on path 10s
8. Dunno. Think I got distracted by SN guy on my course, came off bearing and onto path, wasn't a mapped path and missed. Relocated fairly quickly. 45s?
10. Inexplicably through green instead of on path. 20s
20. had wrong picture in my head (clearing) instead of control feature (pit in clearing). Ignoring the fact that the map was wrong, lesson: check descriptions. Control miraculously appeared when approached again with correct mental picture. 60s?
21. Misread as a pit in a patch of fight as opposed to reality, a pit surrounded by a thorn hedge 45s?
22. Weak AP, veered off and faffed. 90s
