SN Trophy Long Valley South Black - 2nd
Think that is my best result on a black course. 1:30 down on the leader and 35s ahead of Nick. Beforehand thought I would try and push a bit harder on the runnable sections and when technical be more in control. Caught a guy halfway round, led him then he got ahead on a route choice and then I led him round the rest of the way. Felt terrible yesterday running at parkrun but running pretty well today. Full on weekend but a really fun one.
1 +30s execution didn't spot the path towards the control. Slight hesitation edge of circle
9 +50s slow through terrain first half. No clear attackpoint and hesitation in the circle
10 +43s route choice, shouldn't have cut corner through terrain.
14 +20s indecision. Thought straight then round and then impulse decided straight and really poorly executed it.
17 +2:40 route choice then execution issue. Should've gone up and round. Poor bearing out of the control, then didn't read the map enough and went the wrong way round the fenced enclosure then lost time on the leat.
24 +25s execution in the circle. Hadn't realised the number of spurs. Then got too high. The guy I was running with got ahead.
27 +25s execution, should've stuck on the path or had a clearer plan near the control. Further from white than expected
28 +20s hesitation with path in and didn't spot fence
