Nice open area, so I should have done OK. Bit heathery underfoot and I was missing some oomph because of this. 21 fastest legs but quite a few bananas, mainly due to compass (4,5,23 whole leg, 2,13 at ends).
3 Main mistakes:
9 - had this pinned as a tricky leg, climbing a vague hillside to a depression. Drifted too far left, was nearly on it (just a bit too high) but went higher to relocate - not very well. Thankfully someone led me in to it. 1:30.
22 - opted to use the end of the scattered open (mapped) to stop running and start looking. It never stopped (ground) and I was too low after going in a bit too hot and heavy and not planning based on better features. 30s
29 - stopped too early, 22 had me questioning tree mapping. 20s.
Moving OK (for a 2h long fell race) but not got much poke.
