Compass Sport Cup Final - Brown - Long Valley North
Flat and fast, and not too tricky until the last loop. Not ideal prep with calf and travelling. I felt ok to start but then a bit lethargic and lacking usual speed which was frustrating. Managed to stay concentrated and nav was pretty good.
Mistakes ~3:00min
(1)(0:15) - Didn't account for not going to start kite. Poor bearing.
(10)(0:15) - RC Poor exit from c9
(15)(0:45) - Trying to hold onto small pack not reading enough detail
