SINS Day 3 at Brampton Bryan - Black 10.1km
RoutegadgetWalked to the start and still got there 30 mins early. The 50 minute estimated time was rubbish
Didn't have the speed in my legs after two days of racing and annoyingly kept making mistakes, losing time on the first four controls and then 9 and 11 in the forest part. Once out in the open i was clean and so it felt like i would finish with a average time until i binned 4 mins on the 2nd last easy control.
I wasn't a fan of the route choice on 12 straight through the start as the optimal route was straight through the minute call ups so instead i had to crash through chest high bracken marked as white.
Time to properly sort this calf out before BOK Blast
Time losses:
#1 Drifted too far west so had to attack from the path and got lucky finding a train of people exiting
#2 Massive banana clearly following tracks and not my bearing
#3 2:45 Was way too low, got distracted by the M16s
#4 60s Chose to contour round which may have been fine had i executed it accurately but started searching too far south
#9 15s In the circle, was just slightly too high
#11 30s Very hesitant i was south of the distinct vegetation boundaries that i wanted to tick off
#21 4:10 North side of the hill but it was hidden behind a small unmapped thicket. Walked round for 300m in 3 small loops. Couldn't believe I had missed it.
