SOW Day 3 - Vorab
The super high day, ~2500m and next to a glacier.
Super complex stuff, course was like 2.5 middles in a row. I did the first 1.5 really well, with only a few hesitations around #5 and #6 where there were a million flags and had to continually assure myself they weren't mine.
Second half fell apart spectacularly, losing extensive time on 4 controls - including a disgraceful, run to the flag, check code, not mine, run to another flags, rinse, repeat towards the end. Had a lot of trouble interpreting the mapping in places - especially the rock features and the transitions between the different shades of grey/orange/yellow screening.
However, I had a ball - defo my fave day so far. Taking the final gondola (of 4) up to the start took you over the race area, so you could see everyone doing the whole race. Sweet as weather as well, fourth day in a row!
