Another "if only" race :( Binned two minutes at number 1 where I stopped short. Slightly high and the first reentrant split in two so I thought I was already in the second one. After that I ran a really good middle section but lost 30s on the last control in the woods. Pleased to have run a good race in the middle but so annoyed about the mistake at no1. It showed that a top 10 is possible and I should be pleased with my first woc top 20, but it's hard to be happy when I've thrown away such a good chance.

Beast.
Started off ok but then made a big mistake on 4 (much higher than I thought I was) and another mistake on 5 (flustered after 4 and didn't concentrate enough). Got the right route on the long leg but really felt the heat (and altitude?). In the middle I wasn't sure if I would make it round the course. It's hard to tell in retrospect if this was partly mental from making the mistakes or just that it was a tough course. Definitely something to learn about drinking lots of water earlyThe middle section was all pretty easy technically and I executed it fine apart from feeling like I was crawling. Then we had two difficult controls near the end which went fine. It was a shame that we had less technical stuff than the boys course.
Overall I wasn't satisfied with the race at all. I am annoyed at not keeping my discipline in the first loop and also annoyed that I didn't cope well with the tough conditions. A good race to complete but far from what I wanted to achieve.

Good run with only a couple of small mistakes and was confident when I finished that I would qualify. Good to get the first race out of the way :)
