PD middle race on a cold, crisp day. Snow on the higher hills - everywhere just looked great today -in the far west .
The Dave Peel map is super- we had a 1:7500 map which was not necessary. Courses were oddly short Rhodri did 22 mins -presumably the organisers thought he was going to do 32mins!
Made a mistake at no 1 -overshot badly otherwise pretty clean (as was everybody else!)

Warm up

Llanyinidr with Laura - partial covering with snow . The map is really good felt in tune with the navigation. Some legs continuous contact others looking up interesting relative progress - slow but not feeling too bad

Merther Common with Laura - partial covering with snow . Ran a course going quite well

Perhaps not surprisingly I now feel grim with a cold.
Need to take a few days off

Exhausted and sore from fall

Waking up controls, checking, collecting etc,
Nose still bleeding from yesterdays fall -really unpleasant. I thought that the event went well . Nottingham are really are a very efficient friendly club who make the most of their county. Andy's courses seem to have been well received,
All that Nopesporters could be outraged about was that we had closed entries on the advertised closing date and that we had used dead oaks. The strongest opinions were as ever from those who have not been to the race.
One said we should have had a drinks point. Completely valid in the rules but something I never think about in Feb.

C • Good event. 1
