Oh just brilliant timing. Woke up with a sore throat, it got worse from there during the drive up to the Lakes.

This was just awful. I should have pulled out (or not started). You cannot seriously hope to be competitive in the Lakes even if you are feeling a little bit off, let alone feeling the way I was. Completely lacking energy, really sore body.
Navigation wasn't a complete disaster, mostly because I was going too slow to stuff it up badly. Lost time in the middle of the leg at #2 when my delirious brain refused to accept the presence an irrelevant wall-track junction - but actually nailed the control in the circle. Lost more time on #3 when I went up the wrong gully.
Again had a complete lack of mental ability at #10 when I overshot the feature by several hundred metres, and again at #12 when I headed off at a 45 degree angle. Final mistake was at #18 when I climbed the wrong side of a pretty obvious cliff.
