shoes: Mudclaw 265 (Red)
Darnaway West. 6th, 2'52 down. Too big an error at 8, about 3'40 - intended to run round the path east of 7 to avoid grot and get and easy route into the control but I think I went NE to the rough open and so came off the path running southward 100m early, hunting around the hills 100m north of the control until I relocated. Should have been more proactive about relocating, it would not have required 100m out to (wrong) path and back in.
Also 5 - at least a minute - was distracted by another runner and followed them down the spur north west of the control. Winsplits showing a 30 second loss at 12 - didn't actually get lost, just stuck in veg/on a slope trying to go round the depression on the east side.
Has been fun, knee survived (with tape), now quitting while I'm winning (literally) - would have needed a couple of clean runs to have any chance of keeping that even if I was able to stay for the rest of the week.
