IOC Sprint - 4th (+51sec)
Started strong, got the trick on #1 fine, and negotiated the rockery pretty well. Navigated pretty well through greenery and the forest early on, probably lost 2-3sec on route to #10, but clean again the whole way through to #18.
Pushing pretty hard but revelling in the intensity of the navigation distracting from the running - love this style of forest sprint. To #19 I tried to push hard given it was a running leg, was clean, but didn't go close enough for the si air to register (never made that mistake before), and had to double back, maybe 3-4sec.
Had already planned my route to #20, nailed the initial line, and then just got confused at the path somehow. A little in the red already, and didn't take the time to double-check and followed the path left, got more confused, and went outside the olive green. Nothing made any sense, when I realised I ran a little up looking for a gap in the olive green, didn't see one, so turned back and went back around (another wrong decision). Finally got into it and hit it.
A little flustered I got confused on the right exit, but got it after a couple seconds hesitancy. Missed the planned route to #21 for a little more loss, but not too bad a readjustment. Got back into it and clean on #22, #23, some hesitancy leaving #23 but nailed down the route quickly. Went left on #25 which I think was good. All good and ran in hard to the end.
Didn't realise the extent of my shocker till I started comparing splits. Lost 53sec to Josh & Ruairi on a 20sec leg, and wound up 51sec behind Josh at the finish. Before this point I had been in the lead, 8sec up on Josh (who was running quicker and would have most or all of this). Certainly can't say I would have been won, but it would have been there or there abouts with Josh just for a moment of madness. That's the game we play but still very frustrating to let that happen.
Anyway, onwards and upwards, more to come.
