Day 4 - Roseisle: or called 'Boy, O Boy'! Started well enough with clean through many of the early controls and feeling decent. Caught an INT guy and we started trading controls. Was 22.04 at #13 and in 12th place. Made first error to #14 when I misread the hill and passed the control before returning, losing 1.5 mins. Bigger miss was next control where I crossed the track (should have spotted this but thought it wasn't mapped) and ended up relocating from another control in a reentrant 100m south. Prob lost 3.5 mins. From then on I started to flag, with 18-21 taking longer than would be expected. By the map exchange, I was spent- legs dead and feeling exhausted. I lost time at 22, 24 and 27 but in reality I was limping along. Took me 22.10 for the 'easy' 2.8K from 21 to the finish. Never been as relieved to see a finish as this one.
