Lower Torc
Nice uphill leg to kick things off but expected something like that given where we were starting from.
It wasn't that difficult for me today, on a lot of familiar terrain. So wasn't much to it, had been in a lot of these places before. I know what's on the map but isn't there and what's not on the map but is there.
Got caught on the wrong side of a couple of features, 4 for example, fallen tree too big for me to scramble over so back around the stump.
The climb to 9 wasn't enjoyable.
12 was the only control I wasn't happy with. Didn't pay attention to the map, thought I knew what I was doing. Used the 1st MTB track (on the map) which I shouldn't have used, should have gone for one of the ones further on for a more direct approach. Then followed the wrong path but decided it wasn't right for some reason so went back. Then came across the control. Luckyish as thought the control was going to be further.
Then downhill to cross the road for a loop around the field. Not much too it apart from not liking having to cross some fences. Legs a bit stiff towards the end. Did feel like I was running better towards the end than on some of the tracks above the road but it was faster running.
Happy to have got to run though.
I wasn't the only one on the brown today, still got a superman.
Forgot to mention that one of my toes is not liking these shoes, was an issue after Wednesday's run, and it's now completely black and blue, shoe rather than an impact off a rock issue.
