SL 2 on the Long Swamp map. Much more open than yesterday even though the maps adjoin. A poor start, missing #1 and costing myself about 5-6 minutes. Just didn't go far enough up the hill! OK through to 6 where I again didn't trust my instincts and ended up at 7 which meant a scramble down and back up the very steep slope. Rest of the course had no problems. Speed again well down and had to settle for 5th with the faster guys dominating in the quicker terrain.
