Oceania sprint
Good to the first but blew it all on the second, couldn't spot the gap between building & wall SW of #1 and panicked & rushed things, so carried on past #6 and took the long way in from the west, 1 minute gone. Picked up a little from there but my direction out of controls was poor 7/10/15) and picked a few poor 50/50 routes (8/9/10).
Almost crashed into Tash at 17, then at 19 punched the control and turned left straight into a set of stairs at head height, smashing my forehead and shoulder off them - head started pouring with blood and I was pretty stunned, but carried on. Wasn't particularly focussed through the final loop, slow to 20 & cautious routes through the rest, caught out by non-gap in hedge to 27.
Should have been sub 18 really, but not today. Trip to first aid for a clean & patch up job, then A&E for seven more stiches for the collection.
