DQ'ed, stupid.
Not much to say. Got the wrong depression for number 1. Other than that It was acceptable, I ran up all the hills, overtook and lost OD Hamish.
Because of wrong #1 I was off going to #2 (15s). Bad RC #6 (10s). Across the road I was running in the wrong direction a lot leaving controls (30s). #19 lost a lot of time in the broken ground looking for a pit (<1min).
Looking back on it, it was a poor run through and through.
Relay (No animation)
Relay GPS (It actually does the animation)

Gym/Conditioning warm up/down (Parking Olympics)
shoes: Brooks CASCADIA 5
6 and a half hours, v. tiering.
Generally setting the car-park up and then carparking. Was actually quite enjoyable because you get to boss people about. We tried synchronised car directing and got ratings from drivers.
After my run I had to leave my car to direct ORIENTEERS out of the field. Mainly people getting the wrong attack point (maybe a 90 degree error) and not making the turn into the gate. One person dismissed me and took the corner at speed to show how good a driver he was, then crashed into the fence.

WarnCrag and Suicide
I was never going to try at this as of about a month ago, and just concentrate on the relays. You were not allowed to take a GPS, I don't have my map and I lost my splits... soo..
I really loved the bit in Greno especially the first 4 (downhill) controls, and the Wharncliffe rocky bit 20-25
2 Bad RC (15s)
Slightly disorientated going to 4 (ended up at the wrong corner of OOB) (30s)
5 not so good a RC
7 The Louth made me go off my mental bearing (40s)
8 started navigating to 9 so The Louth overtook me (20s)
19 just disorientated (lost a fair bit) (1min 10s)
20 awful RC (I had planned the best route for a similar leg in preparation but just couldn't see it on the modern-looking map) (3min?)
23 went through the boulders and would have beat The Louth but fell over and stubbed my toe my knee and everything else
Basically that was when I stopped trying because I couldn't get the same speed over the rocky ground.
24 Could see I was slowing Tom so said that I had just seen Jack ahead, he was off like a shot
26-Fin walked the majority of it because I was out of energy (7min?)
Total racing mistakes about 3min + 1 v.bad RC. Racing position = 5th
A great day but tomorrows result will make tomorrow greater (carefully phrased)
