Picked up two maps by mistake - only realised 4 or 5 controls from the end - I thought it had been a bit stiff to fold!
Some good legs but some poor ones. Can't really remember the course that well
[rant]
damn you BOK; print enough maps!!!
[/rant]
but number 1 was a good leg - had the control site before which helped, although every time I think its going to be a hill and it remains a depression.
#2my routechoice was pretty bad, tried to come down the small open strip but it was overgrown with brambles so didn't really know where I'd come out, so ended up too low. Relocated on stream ok, but the damage was done (1m)
#3 dont know what was going on here - id like to blame the vegetation (but i can't see the map, so...) but I think it was probably my error - ended up too low down again (1m)
misinterpreted map on #4 and thought I'd run further along the top than I had, ended up in loads of brambles before getting anywhere near the control (ie still up on the top near the fence). (30s) Actually hit the control very well.
Then some good ones - 5/6/7 before another issue on 8 - I was just too high up but again, couldnt make the veg fit. (1m)
Then another string of good - 9-14 before struggling with 15 - decided to go via 1 but as rcro said, the contours were a bit dodgy and had to go along the top quite a bit before finding a safe way down...unfortunately then had no idea where I was, so a bit lucky not to lose more time here really (30s)
Spent at least (15s) giving a map to Phil on 17. Slight worry trying to find the right tree, but ok. Last 2 fine.
4:15 lost - that sounds about right; would've been just ahead of Phil :) but so many small mistakes is annoying
Felt pretty good to say I'd done 11k before starting
