Got the first one alright, then undershot the second, trying to get into map scale I think. Then completely fecked up #4. Inversed the contours in my head, and couldn't work out what was going on. Even to the point where I couldn't work out which feature it was on as i couldn't see a reentrant in the middle of the circle..... Eventually went out and relocated and sorted it out, but i was pretty angry by this point. (4.5 mins). Went too far east on 5, missed track to #7, Lost some time in the vaguness at 12 & 13.
Then fecked my R ankle on a simple bit of terrain coming out of 17. I was a bit pissed off after this, missed 18 very slightly too. Was completly knackered and sore (ankle + bending over too much!) on the way to 20, though the path route appears to saved me a lot of time. Went high to 23, which i think was slower. Tried not to die on way to 25, before sminthy sheparded my through to the end.
Ran with "spongy" some of the time, as he passed me early on, but then fecked his ankle.
So overall not a great day at the office. Would've been happy If I was around 2 hours. Don't think I've done enough hills or long runs.
Avoided any embrassinging defeats, and secured my bet with baba
Winner 87.57!
