Oh dear.
One of the scrappiest runs I've had in a while. 1 fine, although I ended up practically on top of the control before I saw the flag. Stuck in impenetrable gorse (where map read semi-open with wide veg hatchings) on the way to 2. Lost 2 minutes on 4 because I didn't know where I was on the spur; ended up far too high and bouncing off the car park, from which I couldn't even manage to pick up the path down to the control. Then sloppy through the rest of the course, easily distracted, having the odd spurt which more often than not led to a mistake/headless chicken, and generally feeling sluggish the rest of the time.
I usually love middle races, but I think I'd rather forget about this one. Disappointed with both the time and the result.
