JK Day 1 Wass M21L
Entered Long this year - anticipated a bit of 'returning from injury' competition with tommy b.
Early start probably didn't do me many favours but fewer distractions.
#3 Tried to save some climb but ended up battling through some rhodies and dithering on the slope rather than using small path [30]
#6 Bramble bashing / stopped too early to check number of flag on rock feature higher up slope [30]
#10 Poor route out to path from previous control [20]
#13 Had caught someone - chose riskier route along ridge. (Why? Parallel path no distance away with insignificant extra climb and excellent attack point...) Unmarked rock underfoot made ridge slow and I started looking far too early. Headless chicken mode ensued and even went back along ridge a little before rectifying [4mins]
#14 Stayed on upper path too long - slow descent route [30]
#21 Overshot despite carefully counting valleys? [60]
#22 Poor micro-route through rockiest area [20]
Used obvious features in next section which worked a treat - others lost significant time here. Then just trying not too lose ground in easy finale.
4 of 33 (+2:41)
Shame about error on #14 - knew I needed a lead after today to have any chance in the speed merchant area of Kilnsey.
