JK long distance at craig a barnes , started confident with my result from yesterday and tried to concentrate as much as possible , hit 1 fine , lost +30 secs on 2 by not getting into the scale and not going far enough , fell over and tore holes in my map on the way to 3 which caused a lot of problems later on, lost +15 secs on 3 by going to the slightly closer reantrant , annoyingly lost +1 min on 4 by going to far to the left , as half my map between the controls was missing , hit 5 well , binned + 6 mins on 6 , firstly lost +2 mins ny going over the two massive hillsd as opposed to round then , when approaching the control , sped up lost concentration , and DOUBTED myself right before i was going to get to the control , and assumed i hadnt gone far enough to +4 mins to relocate before realising i was right after all :/ very annoying , 7 was in the wrong place +20 secs , with johnny to 8 , lost +2 mins to 10 as my map was ruined between the controls , after that i wasnt to bad lost bits of time here and there , lost a fair ammount on 18 , by making a parallel error in the vegetation +1:15 secs and lots of 30 secs misses everywhere .
a dissapointing run loads of mistakes , didnt really have much concentration all race :/ finished in a reasonble 10th which i wasnt to dissapointed by considering the run , 6 mins off 3rd but 15 mins off aidan.
buuuuuut with the times added together i finished in 3rd overall and 2nd best british :) , my first ever jk podium/top 5/top 7 . and as a bottom year 18 so im pretty chuffed . just a shame i mp in the sprint and ballsed up the bmdc otherwise i might have had a shot at eyoc , ahhh well always next year :--)
2009 =12th
2010 =28th
2011 =8th
2012 =3rd
Iat least its now going the right direction :)
