1 PM

JK Day 3: Bigland... Started well n flowing nicely through first dozen controls - lost a little time here n there but nothing major. Long leg through the western slope was vile & I striggled big time. Lost more time on 15 & then a whopping 10 mins on 16 (12.23 for 220 meters!), eventually relocating off 17. Met Logue there n decided to try n track him which I just about managed to 19. Finished v tired but reasonably pleased with my first complete JK since 2010. The one before that was 2005. Let's hope it's not 2020 before that happens again...

Still down on leaders but couldn't have dun much more.
