Event: Harvester 2012
 

Harvester Relay hosted by BAOC at Bordon Heaths. Me and Mark were against each other on the 1st leg of the B course. The area was relatively flat but had a ridiculously complicated path network. Decided to not cutacross the field to 1 and due to this went full speed with no attack point and got lost. Was quite lucky from then on and caught up with Mark. Managed to get away from him due to the gaffles but then wasted 5 mins due to deciding to cut corner from path and got confused. Started panicking instead of keeping calm and consequently got lost on next control as well. Mark then caught me up so had to sprint past him on the finsh leg but it was in vain as my next runner was still asleep. After comparing GPS routes with Mark, I found I ran about 1km more than him inthe same time which shows what an idiot I was being. Course Length: 8.2km

TW Harrier run from the Neville Ground through Hargate Forest, down main road (which was boring and dangerous), right across Eridge Park and then a steep uphill to Frant. From then XC back to Neville Ground. Good run but I was a bit tired and wearing the wrong shoes for going off-road.
