JK Middle - 14th
Not your conventional outing. A bit slow and unintentional out the blocks then face planted somewhere between #3 and #4, map fully coated in mud. Literally guessed where #5 might be, obviously guessed incorrectly losing 1min. Managed to wipe enough mud off to stumble my way into #6. Found a pond going to #7 so gave my map a quick bath, making it just about readable in exchange for increased flaccidity. As a result of my flaccid map, I overshot #7 slightly, nothing major. Next few were fine, bit unsure to #9 but only a few seconds lost. Had a wanderful time at the infamous #14, only losing 1:30min. Was hopeless through the next few although enjoyed a little cat and mouse with Niamh. Finally got my act together after #18. Pretty strong to the finish (nav was piss easy tbf), matching Johnson over the last 10mins of the course.
Nice to feel a bit stronger physically today. Shame about the map incident but managed to limit the damage overall. Quite excited about tomorrow, still all to play for.
