Ahh tough one to take. Just felt physically wank from the off which meant very sloppy nav throughout. Never felt like I was getting after it. Mistakes on 3,9,10 and 12 in the first half put me on the back foot. Caught by the hedge at #3 +10sec, stupid long route round with extra climb to #9 +10sec, ran round an extra building to #10 +5sec, stupid parallel running round an extra building to #12 +10sec. By the map flip was already 20-25sec down on the majority of the top boys. Second half wasn’t much better, started feeling really weak towards the end. Can’t help but think mistakes were a product of the shit feels, not able to get by head into it as took extra mental energy to run.
Haven’t felt great last few weeks, perhaps a bit bonked, but also just not a great day. Will see if I can bounce back in the forest.
