Awful run, really hated the woodland area around controls 2-5. Just so physical and my arms seem to have been ripped apart. First two were good. No 3 I completely blew, drifted too far east, hit an unmarked marsh and then just messed around for far too long not looking at the contours properly (lost ~13 mins). Promptly went and messed up the very next control, think I left 3 slightly disorientated and had to come back and relocate (lost ~7mins). 5-8 were good. 9 wasn't as big a mistake but drifted completely off and too far up the hill (lost ~5mins). The rest were all fine but seemed to hit a wall at 13 and took a while to get back into it.
Definitely should've beaten Abi and Megan's times without the mistakes (69mins). Seemed to be messing up the same controls as a lot of other people, just by a lot more...
