Army event, Hankley.
My first ever army event, quite impressed by the setup.
Spannered the first one, the second one bigtime too. Couldn't quite get things to line up. Then mistake on 3 too, arggh. So 4 was the first one i hit correclty. Then cocked up the exit to 5, understimated the hearther and misread the contours. Little off 9, then going to 12, i had saunders on me, who had started 3 mins later, the only reason i hadn't seen him was due to him also having early issues. Came into from the top to 12, was too high up and couldn't make sense of anything, another minute. Slightly off 13, took a shite route through the green too 14. Missed 17 very slightly. Then 18 wasn't quite right in relation to contours. Was by this time going quite swiftly with MarkS.
So overall far too many mistakes (6-7 minsish), as most of it was track running!
Anyway my fitness wasn't as bad as i thought it might have been with my siesta. Lots to work on, but enjoyed it.
