25c
got an awful seed on Day 3 so didn't have much to aim for/lose, was worried I was going to struggle with time out on course, due to my start being in a bad position not being able to eat much, so took dextro round course with me, although I forgot to eat them... somehow lost 3 mins to number 1, getting used to scale maybe, and misreading contours, fine but slow through 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, awful RC to 9, un aware I could cross field going round the right way losing me 2 mins, mistake on 10 because I thought the map was vague and couldn't recognise where I was on map, 2mins, 11 slow, 12 awful, too far down re entrant, again thought it was vague but should of used contours which never change, 3mins. 13 slow, missed 14, 2mins, 15 slow, 16,17,18,19, slow but fine, 20 took good RC, but kept on stopping due to losing map contacting, about a 1.3k leg, losing 2/3 mins, although I was way down now, I would of been pleased to finish with about 90mins. but I lost 8 mins at 21, a ride was mapped, when it was obviously a path, and this completely disorientated me, entering wrong part of woods, trying to relocate for 5 mins, but couldn't, eventually realising what I had done wrong. not good, letting me down, jogged/walked the last 4 controls, losing 2 mins at 22 and 24, very frustrating. would of been happy with 90, which was possible, could of put me 15 mins of top 3 for the day, and 9 behind will.
